Kenmore 58715149400 dishwasher Parts

On the Kenmore dishwasher model 58715149400, the model number is printed on the serial plate (rating label) attached to the tub wall just inside the dishwasher door. Open the door fully and look along the inner tub wall near the door opening.

Check these common label locations first:

• On the tub wall just inside the door opening (most common)
• Along the left or right inner edge of the door opening
• On the inner door frame area (visible when the door is open)
• Near the top or side of the tub opening where the door seals

For parts lookup and service, we recommend recording:

• Model number (for this unit: 58715149400)
• Serial number (on the same label)
• Purchase date (helpful for your records)

Kenmore dishwashers often share similar styling across multiple model series, so using the exact model number from the serial plate is the most reliable way to match parts like a door seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve.

For diagrams and model identification details, use the 58715149400 owner's manual.

For the Kenmore dishwasher model 58715149400, a “hard reset” is typically done by cutting power to clear a stuck control and then restarting a cycle. Turn the dishwasher off, shut the door, restore power, and then select a fresh cycle per the 58715149400 owner's manual.

• Press Cancel/Drain (if your control panel has it) and wait for the drain to finish.
• Turn OFF power at the breaker (or unplug the dishwasher if it’s accessible).
• Leave power off for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Close and latch the door, then start a NORMAL cycle.
• If the dishwasher was recently serviced, confirm the unit is properly reconnected per the 58715149400 installation guide.

These checks fix most “won’t start” or “frozen keypad” complaints after a reset:

• Make sure the door is fully latched; a misaligned strike can prevent starting.
• Confirm the breaker is fully reset (OFF then ON).
• If the tub is overfilled or the unit won’t fill correctly, inspect the float area; a stuck float can affect filling and draining.
• If you see leaking at the bottom of the door, the lower seal can let water reach safety circuits; inspect the gasket 809006501.
• If the dishwasher won’t drain after Cancel/Drain, check for a kinked drain line or a clog; the drain hose is a common failure point.

A power reset is the fastest way to clear a control glitch without disassembling the dishwasher. If the problem returns right away, the issue is usually mechanical (door latch/strike, drain restriction) or a component problem rather than the control “needing a reset.”

On the Kenmore dishwasher model 58715149400, the filter is inside the tub at the bottom, near the spray arm and heating element area. With normal use it is designed to be self-cleaning, but you can still inspect and wipe around it during routine cleaning (see the 58715149400 owner's manual).

1. Open the door and pull out the lower rack.
2. Look at the very bottom of the tub.
3. You will see the filter area near the spray arm/tower assembly and close to the heating element.

• Turn the dishwasher off at the control panel.
• Let the heating element cool before reaching into the bottom of the tub.
• Remove the lower rack for clear access.
• Wipe loose debris with a damp cloth (avoid harsh scrubbers).
• Check the tub gasket area while you are there.

The 58715149400 uses a filter system that typically flushes food soil away during normal washing. If you notice odor, grit, or poor cleaning, it still helps to do a quick inspection and cleaning around the filter area.

A dirty or blocked filter area can reduce water flow and recirculation, which leads to spots, film, and leftover food on dishes. Keeping the tub bottom clean also helps protect the door seal and improves overall wash performance.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore 58715149400 dishwasher include poor cleaning, not draining, leaks, and not filling or starting. Many issues come down to loading, water temperature and pressure, detergent use, or a worn seal, hose, or drain component; the 58715149400 owner's manual covers the most frequent symptoms and checks.

• Food soils left on dishes: avoid nesting, confirm spray arms can rotate, and make sure the lower rack tower area is not blocked.
• Not drying well: confirm options and loading; plastics dry slower than glass and ceramic.
• Won’t fill: verify the water supply is on and the overfill protector (float) moves freely.
• Water left in the tub: points to a drain restriction, drain hose routing issue, or a drain pump problem.
• Leaks or suds: use only automatic dishwasher detergent, measure carefully, and wipe up spilled rinse aid.
• Door issues: check for a damaged lower door seal or latch alignment.

1. Confirm incoming water is at least 120°F (49°C).
2. Confirm home water pressure is 20 to 120 psi.
3. Reload so nothing blocks spray arm rotation and the detergent dispenser can open.
4. Use fresh automatic dishwasher detergent; avoid overfilling the dispenser.
5. If the unit leaks, confirm it is level per the 58715149400 installation guide.

Correct water temperature, water pressure, and rack loading directly affect wash performance, and detergent or rinse aid misuse can create foam that leads to overflow. Catching leaks early also helps prevent damage to the door seal and pump area.
