Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58715264900, as long as the part is still being manufactured and available. The key is matching the exact model number to the correct OEM part, then choosing the right assembly (pump, heater, inlet valve, seals) for the symptom.
How to make sure you order the right part
Use the model number 58715264900 and confirm the part location and description in the diagrams and lists in the 58715264900 owner's manual.
- Match your model number exactly: 58715264900
- Identify the failure symptom first (leak, no drain, no heat, poor cleaning)
- Check for common wear items: door seals, hoses, rollers, gaskets
- Compare the part name and ID before ordering
- Replace seals and O-rings when you open the sump or pump area

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the door area. For Kenmore model 58715264900, the manual shows the serial label is located on the right side of the tub; open the door and look along the right tub wall and inner frame for the label. See the 58715264900 owner's manual.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the door and inspect the right tub wall for the model and serial label.
- Check the inner door frame around the opening (top and sides).
- Look along the top edge of the door (near the latch area).
- Scan the lower edge of the inner door panel.
- Wipe the area with a damp cloth; soap film can hide the print.
What the model number looks like
Kenmore dishwasher model numbers are typically a long number string. For this unit, the model format shown in the manual is 587.1526* (the asterisk represents a color number), and your full model on the label will match the complete number used for parts lookup (example: 58715264900).
| What you see on the label | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact dishwasher version | Use it to match parts like a door seal, heater, or pump |
| Serial number | Identifies the production unit | Helpful for service history and support |
| “587.1526*” style | Model family plus color code | Use the full model number for ordering parts |
Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting
Using the exact model number prevents mismatches in fit and wiring, especially for common dishwasher repairs like leaks (door gasket), no-heat drying (heater), or drain problems (drain hose). The model number also helps you interpret control behavior and features listed in the manual.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715264900 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item, a leak, or a performance issue you can correct with cleaning or a targeted part replacement. It becomes less cost-effective when multiple major components fail at once.
Quick way to decide
We use three checks to make a clear repair vs. replace call:
- Age: Under 10 years old typically favors repair; over 10 years depends on condition and repair scope.
- Repair type: Leaks, draining issues, and poor cleaning are often straightforward; repeated electrical failures are more involved.
- Total cost: If the repair approaches 50% of the cost of a comparable new dishwasher, replacement usually makes more sense.
Common repairs that are often worth it on 58715264900
These are frequent, fixable issues on dishwashers of this design (filtering system, spray arms, heater, and drain path):
- Water not filling or filling slowly: check the dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401
- Not draining or draining poorly: inspect the drain hose 807117001 and the sink/disposer connection
- Leaks at the door: replace the dishwasher door seal 809006501
- Dishes not drying well: confirm you are using Heat Dry and that the heater circuit is working
- Food soils left on dishes: correct loading, water temperature, and spray arm blockage per the 58715264900 owner's manual
Repair vs. replace comparison
| Situation | Usually do this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single leak (door or hose) | Repair | Low parts cost, high success rate |
| Won’t drain but motor sounds normal | Repair | Often a hose, blockage, or pump-area issue |
| Poor cleaning and cool water | Repair | Water temp and heater-related fixes are common |
| Multiple major failures (pump, control, leaks) | Replace | Cost and downtime add up |
Why it matters
This model’s wash system relies on proper water temperature, correct loading, and unobstructed spray arms to clean well. When those basics are off, it can look like a “bad dishwasher” even though a simple adjustment or a single part restores performance.
What we recommend before spending on parts
- Verify incoming water is about 120°F and household water pressure is 20 to 120 psi
- Make sure items are not blocking spray arms
- Use fresh detergent and proper cycle selection
- Review the troubleshooting section in the 58715264900 owner's manual

What are the parts of my dishwasher?
Your Kenmore 58715264900 dishwasher is built around a wash system that filters and recirculates water for cleaning; the core parts include the racks, spray arms, filters, pump and motor, heater, detergent dispenser, door seals, and the water inlet and drain components. For diagrams and part locations, use the 58715264900 owner's manual.
Main parts you will see and use
- Racks and rollers: upper and lower racks ride on rollers for loading dishes
- Spray arms: lower and upper spray arms distribute wash water
- Detergent dispenser: releases detergent at the right time in the cycle
- Filters and glass trap: fine mesh filtering plus a center glass trap for debris
- Door system: door latch and door seals keep water inside the tub
- Controls: control panel and electronic control board run cycles and options
Wash and drain parts (what makes it clean and empty)
The 58715264900 wash system brings in hot water, mixes it with detergent, pumps it through the spray arms, then filters and recirculates the water; soils collect until they flush out during the drain cycle.
| Function | What it includes | Common symptom when it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Fill | Water inlet valve | Won’t fill, fills slowly, or stops mid-cycle |
| Wash/recirculate | Pump and motor, spray arms, filters | Poor cleaning, weak spray, gritty residue |
| Heat/dry | Heater | Water not heating, poor drying |
| Drain | Drain hose and drain path | Standing water, slow drain |
Parts on this model that customers replace often
