Kenmore 58715072201 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including Kenmore model 58715072201. The key is matching parts by the full model number so you get the correct fit for items like the door seal, drain hose, water inlet valve, and wash system components; see the 58715072201 owner's manual for part and feature references.

How to make sure you order the right part

Use these checks before you buy:

• Confirm the model number from the serial label (typically on the right side of the tub).
• Match the symptom to the system (leak, no drain, no fill, poor cleaning, door won’t latch).
• Compare your original part’s markings and connection style (hose ends, electrical terminals, mounting holes).
• Replace seals and gaskets when you open the sump or pump area to prevent repeat leaks.
• If your dishwasher shows an error, use the Kenmore 722 series dishwasher error codes guide to narrow the failure.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is usually worth it when the repair is a common wear item (leak seal, drain hose, inlet valve) or a simple service issue, especially on the Kenmore 58715072201. Replacement makes more sense when multiple major components are failing or the repair cost approaches the price of a new unit.

Quick way we decide: cost, age, and what failed

• If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs are typically the better value.
• If it is 10 to 15 years old, repair is still worthwhile for leaks, draining issues, and maintenance.
• If it is over 15 years old, we focus on low-cost fixes; major electrical or motor repairs often do not pencil out.
• If the problem is a leak at the door, a seal repair is usually cost-effective.
• If the problem is no fill or poor fill, the inlet valve is a common, straightforward repair.

Common repairs that are usually worth it on model 58715072201

These are frequent, practical fixes that can restore normal washing and drying without replacing the dishwasher:

• Replace a leaking lower door seal: gasket 809006501
• Fix a drain problem caused by a split or kinked line: hose 807117001
• Restore water fill when the valve is sticking or leaking: valve 154637401
• Address overfill symptoms by checking the float and switch: switch 154773201
• Improve drying and water temperature performance by servicing the heater circuit (element and connections); see 58715072201 owner's manual

Repair vs replace: simple comparison

Situation	Usually repair	Usually replace
Single leak, drain, or fill issue	Yes	No
Multiple leaks plus poor washing	Maybe	Often
Motor or control problems plus other symptoms	Sometimes	Often
Tub or inner door panel leak	Often (warranty coverage may apply by age)	Sometimes

Why it matters

This Kenmore dishwasher uses a filtered wash system and temperature control to improve cleaning and drying. When a basic part like a seal, hose, or inlet valve fails, performance drops fast, but the fix is often much cheaper than replacing the entire dishwasher.

Yes. On Kenmore dishwasher model 58715072201, you can replace the rubber door seal (gasket) by removing the old seal, cleaning the sealing channel, and pressing the new gasket into place evenly so the door closes without gaps. See the 58715072201 owner's manual for safety steps before servicing.

What you’ll need

• Replacement door seal (use the correct lower door seal for your model)
• Mild cleaner and a damp cloth
• Towel (to catch drips and protect the floor)
• Flashlight (to check for twists or gaps)

Step-by-step: replace the door seal

1. Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the breaker (important before servicing).
2. Open the door and remove the racks for easier access.
3. Pull out the old seal slowly from the channel; work from one end to the other.
4. Clean the gasket area and channel with a damp cloth; remove detergent residue and debris.
5. Install the new seal by pressing it into the channel a few inches at a time; keep it centered and fully seated.
6. Close the door for a few minutes to help the seal set, then run a short cycle and check for leaks.

Common fit and leak checks

• Seal looks wavy or bunched up: remove and reinstall so it sits flat in the channel.
• Leak at the bottom edge: inspect the lower seal area and confirm it is fully seated.
• Seal keeps getting damaged: load sharp items so they cannot contact the seal.

Symptom after replacement	Most likely cause	What to do
Drips at bottom of door	Seal not seated evenly	Re-press seal into channel, especially corners
Door hard to close	Seal twisted or misaligned	Reinstall and ensure uniform depth
New seal tears quickly	Items contacting seal	Adjust loading to protect the seal

Parts that commonly relate to door sealing

If you’re replacing the lower door seal, use the correct model-specific part such as the gasket 809006501.

Why it matters

A properly seated door gasket prevents leaks, protects the inner door area, and helps the dishwasher maintain correct wash pressure for better cleaning.

To identify your Kenmore dishwasher model, open the door and look for the model and serial label on the right side of the tub (inside the door opening). For Kenmore model 58715072201, the label typically shows the model as 587. followed by the remaining digits; confirm the full number in the 58715072201 owner's manual.

Where to look for the model and serial label

Check these common spots in this order:

• Right side wall of the tub (most common on this Kenmore design)
• Inner door frame around the opening
• Top edge of the door (visible when the door is open)
• Along the tub rim near the latch area
• Lower kickplate area (after removing the toe panel)

What the model number looks like

Kenmore dishwasher model numbers are usually a 3-digit prefix plus the rest of the number.

What you see on the label	What it means	Example
587.	Manufacturer prefix	587.
Remaining digits	Exact model identifier for parts	15072201
Full model number	Use this for parts lookup	58715072201

Why the exact model number matters

We use the full model number to match the correct parts and diagrams for your dishwasher, including items that can vary by revision such as the door seal, drain hose routing, and control panel style.

• Ensures the right fit for racks, wheels, and hinges
• Prevents ordering the wrong electrical parts (keypad, control panel)
• Helps match troubleshooting steps and cycle features

Quick tip when ordering parts

Once you find the model number, compare it character-for-character before you order. If you are fixing a leak at the bottom of the door, the lower door seal is a common wear item on many dishwashers, including this model family; see the gasket 809006501 if your symptoms match.
