How do I tell what model dishwasher I have?
Your dishwasher’s model number is printed on the appliance ID label, and for Kenmore dishwashers like model 58714403400, that label is usually visible when you open the door. Check the inner door frame and tub opening first; the model number is typically easy to spot with a flashlight.
- Along the top edge of the inner door frame
- On the left or right side of the door frame (around the tub opening)
- On the side edge of the door itself
- Under the control panel lip (underside of the console)
- On the cabinet frame just inside the opening (near the latch area)
Most Kenmore dishwasher ID labels include:
- Model number (example: 58714403400)
- Serial number
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
- Sometimes a barcode
If the label is worn, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and use a flashlight at an angle to make the print stand out.
The model number is how we match the correct parts and diagrams for your dishwasher. Even small model changes can affect fit and wiring, especially for items like a door latch, control panel, or wire harness.
- Copy the model number exactly (all digits, no spaces)
- Take a photo of the label for reference
- Use the model number to confirm parts in the 58714403400 owner’s manual

What size is a Kenmore dishwasher model 58714403400?
Kenmore dishwasher model 58714403400 is a built-in, full-size dishwasher that typically fits a standard 24-inch cabinet opening. For this model, the overall size is about 26 3/16 inches deep and 35 7/8 inches high; confirm the exact cutout and leveling range in the 58714403400 installation guide.
Use these measurements to plan clearance for the door, toe-kick, and plumbing connections.
- Depth (front to back): about 26 3/16 inches
- Height (floor to top): about 35 7/8 inches (leveling feet can fine-tune fit)
- Width: designed for a standard 24-inch built-in opening
- Door clearance: allow space in front so the door can open fully
- Side clearance: keep the tub and door from rubbing adjacent cabinets
| Measurement | What it affects | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Depth | Door swing and countertop overhang | Clearance in front of the unit |
| Height | Fit under countertop | Leveling legs adjustment range |
| Width | Cabinet opening | Standard 24-inch opening alignment |
These checks prevent fit issues and help avoid leaks or vibration after installation.
- Measure the cabinet opening width, height, and depth in three places (front, middle, back)
- Verify the countertop underside is flat and the dishwasher can be leveled
- Confirm water line, drain hose, and electrical routing will not kink or pinch
- Make sure the kick plate area has enough room for the toe-kick panel
- If the door does not latch smoothly after install, inspect the dishwasher door latch 5304535183
Dishwashers are sensitive to leveling and clearance. A tight opening or incorrect height can cause door sealing problems, poor draining, extra noise, and premature wear on the latch, hinges, and tub gasket.

How do you do a hard reset on a Kenmore dishwasher?
For Kenmore dishwasher model 58714403400, a hard reset is typically done by canceling the current cycle and rebooting the control. The most reliable method is to use the model’s keypad reset sequence listed in the 58714403400 owner's manual.
- Press Cancel/Drain (or Cancel) and let the dishwasher drain completely.
- Turn power off at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
- If the control panel is unresponsive, open the door, wait 30 seconds, then close it firmly and try Cancel/Drain again.
- If the dishwasher is stuck mid-cycle, run Cancel/Drain once, then start a new cycle.
Many Kenmore dishwashers reset by pressing a specific button pattern (often involving Heated Dry and High Temp or similar keys). Because the exact keys can vary by control style, use the model-specific sequence in the 58714403400 owner's manual.
| What happens | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Lights change or flash | Control entered reset/diagnostic mode |
| Pump runs briefly | Cancel/Drain is clearing water |
| Unit returns to idle | Reset completed |
These checks solve most “won’t start” or “frozen control” complaints:
- Confirm the door is fully latched; a weak latch can prevent starting (see Dishwasher door latch 5304535183).
- Make sure Control Lock is not enabled (look for a lock indicator on the panel).
- Verify the dishwasher has power: breaker on, junction box connections tight.
- If it fills incorrectly or stops early, a water level sensing issue can mimic a control problem (see Dishwasher water-level pressure switch 5304460977).
A proper hard reset clears a stalled cycle and reboots the electronic control so the dishwasher can drain, refill, and run normally. It also helps you separate a simple control glitch from a door latch or water-level problem.

What are the commonly replaced parts in a dishwasher?
For Kenmore dishwasher model 58714403400, the most commonly replaced parts are the door latch and seals, detergent dispenser, spray arm components, and water-level or wiring components. These parts wear from normal use, hard-water buildup, and repeated heating, which can cause leaks, poor cleaning, or no-start issues.
- Door latch and strike components (door will not close, unit will not start)
- Tub gasket and other seals (leaks at the door or tub perimeter)
- Detergent dispenser assembly (soap door not opening, poor wash results)
- Spray arm and mounting hardware (weak spray, dishes not getting clean)
- Water-level pressure switch (overfilling, underfilling, wash performance problems)
- Wire harness and connectors (intermittent power, random stops)
| Symptom | Likely part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t start or door pops open | Door latch | Dishwasher door latch 5304535183 |
| Water leaking around tub/door | Seals and gaskets | Dishwasher tub gasket 5304512895 |
| Soap not dispensing correctly | Dispenser | Dishwasher detergent dispenser assembly 5304460911 |
| Poor cleaning, weak spray | Spray system | Dishwasher spray arm 5304461012 |
Use the troubleshooting steps and diagrams in the 58714403400 owner’s manual to match the symptom to the correct assembly before ordering.
- Check for simple causes first: overloading, blocked spray arm holes, or a loose rack blocking the dispenser
- Inspect for leak tracks: white mineral trails, wet insulation, or drips at the bottom edge of the door
- Verify the door closes firmly and the latch clicks consistently
- Look for burn marks or loose connectors if you suspect a harness or control issue
Replacing the correct part restores wash pressure, heating, sealing, and safe operation. It also prevents repeat failures, such as a small leak damaging wiring or a weak spray arm causing chronic poor cleaning.
