Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715142405 is usually worth it when the problem is a leak, draining issue, or poor cleaning and the fix is a common wear part; it is less worth it when the repair involves multiple major components or repeated failures.
- Repair if the dishwasher is cleaning well overall and you have one clear symptom (leak, won’t drain, won’t fill).
- Repair if the fix is a single part such as a seal, hose, valve, latch, or heater.
- Replace if the tub is damaged, the unit has frequent breakdowns, or you are facing multiple high-cost parts at once.
- Repair if you can do safe DIY steps like cleaning, checking loading, and inspecting for leaks.
- Replace if you need major electrical diagnosis and you are not set up to test safely.
These are typical, high-impact fixes we see on Kenmore dishwashers:
| Symptom | What to check first | Example model-matched part |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the door | Door seal area, debris on gasket, door closing | Gasket 809006501 |
| Won’t drain or drains slowly | Drain path, air gap (if installed), drain hose routing | Hose 807117001 |
| Won’t fill or fills slowly | House water supply, inlet screen, inlet valve | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Won’t start or won’t latch | Door alignment, latch engagement | Latch assembly A00104102 |
A dishwasher is designed for years of dependable operation, but it will need preventive maintenance and occasional repair. When the issue is isolated to a normal wear item, repairing usually restores performance for far less than replacement.
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
- Confirm incoming water is at least 120°F (49°C) and water pressure is 20 to 120 psi.
- Load so spray arms can rotate freely; avoid nesting items.
- Clean around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth; let the heating element cool before cleaning.
- If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, make sure the disposer is empty before running.
For model-specific operating and care guidance, use the 58715142405 owner's manual. For installation-related leak and connection checks, use the 58715142405 installation guide.

Where to find model number on a Kenmore dishwasher?
On Kenmore dishwasher model 58715142405, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label located just inside the door opening, typically along the left side of the tub frame. Open the door fully and look for a rating label with both the model and serial numbers.
- Open the dishwasher door and stand facing the tub
- Check the left inner edge of the door opening (tub frame)
- Look for a model/serial label (often silver or white)
- Wipe the label gently if it is cloudy or greasy
- Write down the full model number exactly as shown (for this unit: 58715142405)
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example for this dishwasher |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 58715142405 |
| Serial number | Date/production tracking | Varies by unit |
| Electrical info | Installation and troubleshooting | 120V, circuit details vary |

Why is water standing in the bottom of my Kenmore dishwasher?
Water standing in the bottom of your Kenmore dishwasher model 58715142405 almost always means the unit is not draining properly. We focus first on the drain path (air gap or disposer connection, drain hose, and drain pump) because even a small blockage or kink can leave water in the tub after the cycle.
- Cancel the cycle (or advance to drain) and listen: a drain pump hum with little or no water movement points to a blockage or a weak pump.
- If you have a sink air gap, remove the cap and clean it; a clogged air gap can stop draining.
- If the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer is empty and the disposer inlet knockout plug was removed.
- Inspect the drain hose under the sink for kinks, crushing, or a sag that traps water.
- Confirm the dishwasher is level; poor leveling can affect draining and can also contribute to leaks.
If the drain path is clear but water still remains, these parts are the most common suspects:
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we typically do next |
|---|---|---|
| Hums but won’t drain | Drain pump jammed or failing | Check impeller area; replace pump if needed |
| Drains slowly | Drain hose restricted | Replace hose and route correctly |
| Intermittent overfill or odd fill/drain behavior | Float or float switch issue | Make sure float moves freely; test switch |
Relevant replacement parts for Kenmore 58715142405 include the dishwasher drain hose 807117001 and the dishwasher drain pump A00126501.
Water left in the bottom of the tub after a completed cycle is not normal; it can lead to odors, poor wash results, and can strain the drain pump over time. Restoring proper drain flow protects the pump, sump area, and seals.
We recommend following the drain routing and final installation checks in the 58715142405 installation guide. It covers key items that directly affect draining, including making sure the drain hose is connected correctly, water and drain lines have no kinks, and the dishwasher is level and secured.
