What size is a Kenmore dishwasher 58715262900?
The Kenmore dishwasher model 58715262900 is a standard built-in size designed to fit a typical 24-inch-wide cabinet opening, with adjustable leveling legs to match common countertop heights. For the exact fit and installation clearances, use the 58715262900 installation guide.
Most built-in Kenmore dishwashers in this series are sized for standard kitchen cutouts.
- Width: typically about 24 inches (standard built-in)
- Height: typically adjustable to fit common openings around 34 inches
- Depth: typically around 24 inches plus door/handle clearance
- Cabinet opening height: commonly 33-3/4 inches or more works without modifying countertop or flooring
Use a tape measure and compare your measurements to the installation requirements.
- Measure opening width between cabinet sides.
- Measure opening height from the floor to the underside of the countertop.
- Measure depth from the back wall to the front of the cabinets (allow room for the door to open).
- Check leveling leg adjustment guidance in the 58715262900 installation guide.
| Measurement | What to measure | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Inside cabinet opening | Standard built-in (about 24 in.) |
| Height | Floor to underside of countertop | Adjustable; common fit around 34 in. |
| Depth | Back wall to cabinet front | Around 24 in. plus door clearance |
| Minimum opening height | Floor to countertop underside | About 33-3/4 in. or more |
Correct sizing prevents installation problems like a dishwasher that will not slide fully into the opening, a door that rubs the cabinet, or a unit that cannot be leveled properly (which can affect draining and wash performance).

How to identify Kenmore dishwasher model?
To identify your Kenmore dishwasher model, open the door and look for the model and serial label on the right side of the inner tub area. For Kenmore model 58715262900, the manual shows the serial label location in the dishwasher features section.
Check these common label locations first:
- Right side of the tub opening (most common on this Kenmore design)
- Inner door frame or door jamb area
- Along the top rim of the tub opening
- Near the front edge of the tub, just inside the door
For a diagram of the label location and other key components, use the 58715262900 owner's manual.
Record both numbers exactly as shown:
- Model number (example format: 587.1526*)
- Serial number
- Purchase date (helpful for service history and planning)
The model number ensures we match the correct Kenmore dishwasher parts and diagrams. The serial number helps narrow down production variations that can affect fit, wiring, and component revisions.
| What you see on the label | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 587.1526* (or similar) | The “*” is a color/finish code | Use the full number on the label when ordering |
| 58715262900 | Full model number without punctuation | Use this exact number to match parts |
Try these steps to make it legible:
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and mild dish soap
- Use a flashlight held at an angle to reduce glare
- Take a close-up photo and zoom in
- Copy the number exactly, including any leading zeros

Why is the start button not working on my Kenmore Ultra Wash quiet guard?
On Kenmore dishwasher model 58715262900, a Start button that won’t respond is usually caused by the door not fully latching, a cycle or Delay Start selection preventing immediate start, or a power issue. The correct start procedure is to select a cycle, then press START/CANCEL as shown in the 58715262900 owner's manual.
- Make sure the door is closed and latched firmly (push until you feel it catch).
- Confirm you selected a cycle and any options first, then press START/CANCEL.
- Check whether Delay Start (Wash Delay) is selected; if it is, the dishwasher will not start right away.
- Verify the dishwasher has power: reset the circuit breaker or replace a blown fuse.
- Make sure the water supply valve under the sink is turned on.
If the panel lights work but pressing Start does nothing, we focus on the “start permission” chain: door latch, user interface, and control.
- Door latch and switch alignment (door must read “latched” to start)
- Wiring connections at the control area (loose connector can mimic a bad button)
- User interface or control failure (intermittent or dead Start key)
| Symptom | Most likely area | Example part to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Door closes but won’t start | Door latch system | Latch assembly A00099902 |
| Random behavior or dead keys | Control electronics | Dishwasher electronic control board 5304512731 |
This Kenmore dishwasher is designed to prevent starting unless the door is fully latched and the cycle is set correctly. That protects against leaks and ensures the wash system runs only under safe conditions.

What are common problems with Kenmore dishwashers?
Common problems we see with the Kenmore 58715262900 dishwasher include poor cleaning (food soils left on dishes), dishes not drying, detergent left in the dispenser, leaks, and unusual or changing wash sounds. Many issues trace back to loading, water temperature, water pressure, or a worn seal or pump component; check the 58715262900 owner's manual for model-specific operating tips.
- Food soils left on dishes: blocked spray arms, nesting/overloading, low water pressure, water not hot enough, hard water, old detergent
- Dishes not drying: HEAT DRY not selected, rinse aid low, plastics holding water
- Detergent left in cups: dispenser blocked by dishes, old detergent, cycle not completing
- Leaks: too much detergent or wrong detergent causing suds, spilled rinse aid, dishwasher not level
- Noises or pauses: normal fill and circulation sounds; sound changes when spray arms alternate
- Run hot water at the sink until it is hot; the dishwasher performs best with 120°F (49°C) incoming water.
- Confirm home water pressure is in the typical dishwasher range of 20 to 120 psi.
- Reload to prevent blocking the detergent door and spray arms.
- Use fresh automatic dishwasher detergent; measure carefully, especially with soft water.
- Wipe up any spilled rinse aid immediately to prevent foaming and overflow.
If the basics check out, these model-matched parts often solve the underlying problem:
| Symptom | Common part involved | Example model-matched part |
|---|---|---|
| Leaking at the door | Door seal | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Not draining well | Drain path restriction or hose issue | Drain hose 807117001 |
| Poor wash circulation | Pump or motor/pump issue | Pump A00126401 |
Most “Kenmore dishwasher problems” are performance issues, not failures. Correct water temperature, proper loading, and the right detergent prevent repeat clogs, leaks, and poor cleaning, and they reduce wear on the pump, heater, and seals.
