Kenmore 58714012405 dishwasher Parts

On the Kenmore 58714012405 dishwasher, the filter is inside the tub at the bottom, under the lower rack, as part of the sump area. The use and care information notes the interior (including the filter) is self-cleaning with normal use; you can still wipe around it during routine cleaning using the owner's manual.

How to find it quickly

1. Turn the dishwasher off and let the heating element cool.
2. Pull out the lower dishrack.
3. Look at the bottom of the tub near the spray arm/tower assembly and heating element; the filter area is in that sump zone.

Basic cleaning and inspection steps

• Remove the lower rack so you can see the bottom clearly.
• Check for food debris, labels, or broken glass around the sump area.
• Wipe around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth (avoid abrasive pads).
• Make sure the overfill protector (float) in the left front corner moves up and down freely.
• If you see standing water or heavy debris, clean the sump area before running another cycle.

What you will see in the bottom of the tub

What you see	Where it is	Why it matters
Heating element	Bottom of tub	Can be hot; let it cool before cleaning
Spray arm/tower assembly	Center/bottom area	Blockage reduces wash performance
Overfill protector (float)	Left front corner	If stuck, it can affect filling and draining
Filter/sump area	Bottom of tub under the rack	Debris here can cause poor cleaning and drainage issues

Why it matters

A blocked filter or debris in the sump area can reduce water flow to the spray arm, leave grit on dishes, and contribute to slow draining. Keeping the bottom of the tub clear helps your Kenmore dishwasher clean consistently.

On a Kenmore dishwasher, an E24 code indicates a drain problem: the dishwasher is not draining properly, so water can remain in the bottom of the tub at the end of the cycle. For model 58714012405, focus on the drain hose, disposer connection, and drain pump path per the 58714012405 owner's manual.

What to check first (fast fixes)

• Cancel the cycle and let the unit attempt to drain again.
• Check the sink drain or garbage disposer; make sure it is clear and empty.
• If the dishwasher drains through a disposer, confirm the disposer inlet knockout plug was removed.
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a sag that traps water.
• Make sure the drain hose routing matches the 58714012405 installation guide (proper high loop or air gap setup).
• Remove standing water and check the sump area for debris that can block flow.

Parts that commonly relate to E24-style drain issues

If the hose and disposer connection are correct, the next most common cause is a weak or jammed drain pump.

Symptom	Most likely area	What it points to
Hums but won’t drain	Drain pump	Pump impeller jam or failing motor
Drains slowly	Hose or drain path	Partial clog or kink
Water returns after draining	Drain routing	Missing high loop or backflow issue

For this model, the drain pump is available as dishwasher drain pump A00126501.

Why it matters

A dishwasher that does not drain properly can leave dirty water in the tub, reduce cleaning performance, and cause odors. Restoring normal drain flow protects the pump, spray system, and overall cycle results.

Standing water in the bottom of your Kenmore 58714012405 dishwasher after a completed cycle means it is not draining properly. We recommend clearing the drain path (filter area, sump, hose, disposer connection) first; if draining still fails, the drain pump or a drain restriction is the next likely cause.

Quick steps to remove the water safely

• Turn off power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.
• Scoop water out with a cup, then soak up the rest with towels or a wet/dry vacuum.
• Check the drain hose for kinks or crushing behind the dishwasher.
• If connected to a garbage disposer, run the disposer and confirm the disposer inlet knockout plug was removed.
• Restart and let the dishwasher run a short drain portion to confirm water evacuates.

What to check first (most common causes)

1. Cycle status: Make sure the cycle is fully complete and not paused.
2. Drain hose routing: Look for a kink, sag, or blockage; a high loop helps prevent backflow.
3. Disposer connection (if used): A full disposer or an intact knockout plug blocks draining.
4. Sump area: Remove debris that can obstruct the drain intake.

When a part is likely needed

If the hose and disposer connection are clear but the dishwasher still will not drain, the drain pump is a common fix on this model.

Symptom	What it usually points to	What to do next
Hums but drains slowly	Partial blockage or weak pump	Clear hose and sump; consider pump replacement
No drain sound at all	Pump not running or power issue	Check door latch, controls, wiring; test pump
Drains, then water returns	Backflow from sink/disposer	Correct hose routing; verify high loop/air gap

Relevant replacement part for this model: dishwasher drain pump A00126501.

Why it matters

Water left in the tub is not normal after the cycle finishes; it can cause odors, poor cleaning, and can lead to leaks if the dishwasher overfills on the next run.

On the Kenmore 58714012405 dishwasher, the AE code (sometimes shown as E1) points to a water-level problem: the dishwasher is running with too little water in the tub, or water has leaked into the base and triggered the flood protection. For immediate safety, stop the cycle, turn off the water supply, and disconnect power.

What usually causes AE (E1)

These are the most common, fixable causes we see on this Kenmore dishwasher:

• Low fill level because the water supply valve is partially closed
• Kinked supply line or restricted inlet screen at the inlet valve
• Excess suds from the wrong detergent or spilled rinse aid causing overflow into the base
• A leak at the door seal or splash area that lets water reach the base
• A fill system issue such as a failing inlet valve

If you suspect a fill problem, the owner's manual notes that the normal full water level only reaches the bottom of the heater clips.

Quick checks you can do (no special tools)

• Confirm the shutoff valve under the sink is fully open
• Cancel the cycle and restart a normal wash to see if filling sounds normal
• Open the door after the initial fill; water should be present but not high in the tub
• Check for foam; use only automatic dishwasher detergent and wipe up any rinse-aid spills
• Look for drips along the bottom edge of the door

Parts that commonly solve AE-related symptoms

If you find leaking or poor filling, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

Symptom you see	Likely area	Example part for this model
Water on floor at door	Door sealing	Gasket 809006501
Dishwasher not filling well	Fill system	Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401
Water in base, overfill behavior	Flood/overfill circuit	Switch 154773201

Why it matters

Running with a low water level can reduce wash performance and strain the circulation system; a leak into the base can keep the dishwasher from running until the flood protection condition is cleared.

For model-specific operating steps and water-level guidance, use the owner's manual.

The Kenmore dishwasher model 58714012405 is a standard built-in size: it fits a 24-inch-wide cabinet opening, and the installed height is typically adjustable to match common countertop openings (around 34 to 35 inches). For the exact cutout and leveling targets, use the installation guide.

Typical dimensions and what to measure

Dishwasher “size” usually means the cabinet opening (cutout) and the unit’s adjustable height, not just the tub.

Measure these before ordering a replacement or reinstalling:

• Cabinet opening width: most built-in units are 24 inches wide
• Cabinet opening height: commonly 34 inches minimum; adjustable legs help fine-tune fit
• Depth to front of cabinets: allow space for the door to open fully
• Toe-kick clearance: confirm the base does not bind on flooring
• Side clearance: keep hoses and wiring from kinking or pinching

Installation height adjustment (what the guide shows)

The installation instructions for this Kenmore platform include a leveling-leg adjustment chart based on cabinet opening height. That chart is the right reference when you need the dishwasher to sit correctly under the countertop and seal properly at the door.

What you are fitting	What to target	Why it matters
Cabinet opening height	Around 34 to 35 inches (adjustable)	Prevents rubbing, vibration, and poor door sealing
Leveling legs	Adjust to match opening	Keeps racks tracking correctly and helps drainage
Centered in opening	Yes	Avoids hose interference and door alignment issues

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents common problems like door leaks, a door that will not latch, and drain hose kinks. A dishwasher that is too low or out of level can also wash poorly because spray arms and racks do not move as designed.

Related parts that can affect fit and sealing

If you are checking size because of leaking or a door that does not close cleanly, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Gasket 809006501 (lower door seal)
• Gasket 154701001 (splash shield kit)
• Dishwasher door latch strike 154662601 (helps the door latch align)
