Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including the Kenmore 58765830 portable dishwasher. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so the fit, mounting points, and electrical connections are correct.
How to make sure you get the right part
- Confirm the model number is 58765830 (portable units often have similar-looking variants).
- Identify the symptom first (leaking, not draining, poor cleaning, won’t roll, etc.).
- Use the part category that matches the symptom (wheels/casters, pump and motor, door parts, racks).
- Compare the old part’s shape, connector style, and mounting holes before ordering.
- Replace worn mounting hardware or clips if they are damaged during removal.
Example: a common portable dishwasher part we list for this model
If your unit is hard to move, sits unevenly, or a wheel is cracked, the correct wheel component is the caster listed for this model: caster 5300808972.
| What you notice | Likely area to check | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher is difficult to roll | Caster/wheel set | Inspect for flat spots, cracks, missing fasteners |
| Dishwasher wobbles | Caster mount or frame | Tighten mounting points; replace damaged caster |
| Marks on floor | Worn wheel surface | Replace caster and clean the contact area |
Why it matters
Kenmore dishwashers were produced across multiple platforms over the years, so parts that look similar can mount differently. Using the exact model number 58765830 helps prevent returns and gets your portable dishwasher back in service faster.

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the appliance’s identification label. On most Kenmore dishwashers, we find it when the door is open, around the inner door frame or along the tub opening; for your portable dishwasher, also check the back or side panel.
Where to look on a Kenmore dishwasher
Check these spots in order (use a flashlight and wipe away any soap film):
- Open the door and look along the inner door frame (left or right side)
- Check the top edge of the door and the tub lip around the opening
- Look on the tub wall near the front corners
- For portable units, check the back panel and side panels near the power cord and hoses
- Look near the bottom front behind the toe panel (if your unit has one)
What the model number looks like (and what to write down)
We recommend recording both the model and serial information exactly as shown.
| What to capture | Example format | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 58765830 or 665.XXXXXXX | Ensures parts diagrams and parts lists match |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Helps confirm production series and revisions |
| Brand | Kenmore | Prevents mix-ups with similar-looking units |
Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting
Kenmore dishwashers can look identical across multiple model series, but internal parts (like wheels, pumps, and door components) can differ. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time.
Quick tip if you are checking wheels or mobility parts
If you are identifying the model because a portable unit is hard to roll, inspect the wheel/caster area for cracks, flat spots, or missing hardware. For this model page, one common mobility part is the caster 5300808972.

How to remove impeller from Kenmore dishwasher?
On Kenmore portable dishwasher model 58765830, impeller removal is a pump-disassembly task that starts from inside the tub (lower rack and filters) and may require pulling the unit forward to access the pump from below. Use the exact pump layout for your unit before removing any retainers.
Safe prep and access
- Unplug the dishwasher (portable units should be disconnected from the outlet).
- Shut off water at the faucet adapter; disconnect the hose if you need to move the unit.
- Remove the lower rack and scoop out standing water from the sump.
- Wear cut-resistant gloves; glass and bone fragments collect around the pump inlet.
- Take photos as you go so reassembly is straightforward.
Typical impeller removal workflow (what to expect)
These are the common access points used on Kenmore dishwashers; follow the configuration that matches your pump housing.
- Remove the lower spray arm and any center retainer.
- Lift out the filter screen and sump cover (if equipped).
- Clear debris around the pump inlet so you can see the impeller area.
- If the impeller is not accessible from the tub, tip the unit back and remove the lower access panel to reach the pump from underneath.
- Remove the impeller retainer (screw, nut, or locking cap depending on pump design), then lift the impeller off the shaft.
Fastener direction and “don’t break it” checks
We see multiple retainer styles across Kenmore pump designs, so use these checks before applying force.
| What you find | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Screw or nut retainer | Hold the shaft (if required) and loosen normally | Prevents shaft damage and stripped threads |
| Locking cap or bayonet retainer | Press down and rotate to unlock | Avoids cracking the cap or pump cover |
| Impeller stuck on shaft | Wiggle straight up; do not pry on the housing | Prying can crack the sump or seal surface |
Why it matters
A damaged or jammed impeller causes poor wash circulation, weak spray-arm pressure, grinding noises, and sometimes draining problems. Cleaning debris and reinstalling the impeller correctly restores normal water flow and reduces leaks.
Related part that’s actually listed for this model
If you need to roll the portable unit out for pump access, worn wheels make service harder; the correct wheel part listed for model 58765830 is the caster 5300808972.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore portable dishwasher model 58765830 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item, a small leak, or a mobility issue, and the repair cost stays well below the price of replacement. If the dishwasher is very old and needs major electrical or pump work, replacement typically makes more sense.
Quick way we decide: cost, age, and what failed
Use these checkpoints to make a clear call:
- Repair cost vs. replacement: If the repair is under about 50% of replacement cost, we repair.
- Age: Under 10 years is typically a good repair candidate; over 10 years depends on the failure.
- Type of failure: Mechanical wear parts are usually worth it; major electronic or motor failures often are not.
- Condition: Heavy rust, recurring leaks, or multiple recent repairs push toward replacement.
- Performance: If it still cleans well and drains well, repairs pay off.
Common “worth it” repairs on portable dishwashers
These are the fixes that most often restore normal use without a big bill:
- Replacing worn casters/wheels so the unit rolls and seals correctly against the floor
- Fixing minor leaks (hose clamps, door seal alignment, loose fittings)
- Clearing a clogged filter area and spray arms (poor cleaning, gritty residue)
- Correcting a door latch that is not closing firmly
- Addressing a no-drain caused by a blockage (not a failed motor)
Example part that can be worth replacing
If your 58765830 is hard to move, sits unevenly, or the wheel is cracked, replacing the caster is a practical repair: caster 5300808972.
When replacement is the better value
Replacement is usually the smarter choice when you see one of these patterns:
| Situation | What it usually means | Typical recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Repeated leaks plus corrosion | Multiple systems are deteriorating | Replace |
| Loud grinding plus poor wash | Pump/motor wear likely | Replace if older |
| Intermittent power or dead controls | Electrical diagnosis and parts add up | Replace |
| Several repairs in the last 12 to 24 months | Costs are stacking | Replace |
Why it matters
A portable dishwasher depends on stable rolling, proper leveling, and reliable draining. Small mechanical issues (like a damaged caster) can cause bigger problems over time, including vibration, poor cleaning, and leaks, so a targeted repair can extend the dishwasher’s useful life.

Where is the filter located on my Kenmore dishwasher?
On Kenmore portable dishwasher model 58765830, the filter area is inside the tub on the bottom (the sump area) under the lower rack, typically around the base of the lower spray arm. You access it from inside the dishwasher, not from the back or underneath.
How to locate and access the filter area
- Turn the dishwasher off and let it cool.
- Pull out the lower rack to expose the tub floor.
- Find the lower spray arm in the center of the tub bottom.
- Look for a round filter cup, screen, or twist-lock cover around that spray arm base.
- Remove large debris by hand first (labels, bones, glass).
- Lift out or unlock the filter pieces; rinse under warm water and reinstall fully seated.
What you might see (common filter styles)
| What you see at the tub bottom | What it’s commonly called | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Removable cup or screen near center | Coarse filter | Catches larger debris before it reaches the pump |
| Flat mesh screen section | Fine filter | Traps smaller particles to protect spray arms and pump |
| Small guarded opening in the sump | Pump inlet screen | Helps keep objects out of the impeller |
Why it matters
A clogged or mis-seated filter reduces water flow to the spray arms; that leads to poor cleaning, grit on dishes, and can contribute to slow draining.
If your portable dishwasher is hard to roll to the sink
Portable units depend on good wheels for proper positioning and hose routing. If it’s difficult to move, inspect the wheels and replace worn ones with the correct part for this model, such as the caster 5300808972.
