Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still support replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58715109801, as long as the part is still manufactured and available. The key is matching parts by your exact model number, then choosing the correct item (for example a door seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve).
How to make sure you order the right part
- Use the full model number 58715109801 from the serial label (typically on the right side of the tub).
- Compare the part name and description to your symptom (leak, no heat, not draining, door won’t latch).
- Check whether the part is a seal, hose, pump, or control; similar-looking parts can fit differently.
- Follow the safety and access steps in the 58715109801 owner's manual before disassembly.
- If you’re installing or reinstalling the dishwasher, follow the 58715109801 installation guide for anchoring, leveling, and utility connections.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715109801 is usually worth it when the fix is a leak, drain issue, or heating problem and the total repair cost stays well below the price of a comparable replacement. We use the troubleshooting and maintenance steps in the 58715109801 owner's manual to confirm the failure before buying parts.
Quick way to decide (cost, age, and symptom)
Use this checklist to make a clear repair vs. replace call:
- Repair when the dishwasher is under ~10 years old and the issue is isolated (leak, no heat, not draining).
- Repair when the estimate is under ~50% of replacement cost.
- Replace when you have multiple major failures (leaks plus electrical plus wash performance) or heavy tub/rack corrosion.
- Repair when the problem matches a common wear part (seal, valve, hose, latch).
- Replace when repeated repairs are needed within a short time.
Common repairs that are often cost-effective on 58715109801
These are typical “high-impact” fixes that restore normal operation:
| Symptom | What to check first | Example part that may apply |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the bottom of the door | Door seal and splash area | Gasket 809006501 |
| Dishes not drying or water not heating | Heating circuit and element area (do not touch element right after use) | Heater 154825001 |
| Dishwasher will not fill or fills slowly | House water supply and inlet valve | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Not draining or draining poorly | Drain path, disposer connection, drain hose routing | Hose 807117001 |
Why it matters
A targeted repair can restore cleaning and drying performance without the cost and hassle of replacing the dishwasher. The manual also calls out key operating conditions that affect results, such as incoming water temperature around 120°F and home water pressure of 20 to 120 psi, which can prevent unnecessary part replacement.
Before you spend money on parts
We recommend these fast checks first because they often solve “bad wash” complaints:
- Verify the water supply valve is fully open.
- Confirm incoming water temperature is about 120°F.
- Make sure spray arms can rotate freely and loads are not blocking them.
- Use fresh detergent and load to avoid nesting.
- Review the troubleshooting section in the 58715109801 owner's manual for symptom-based guidance.

What kind of Kenmore dishwasher do I have?
You have a Kenmore dishwasher identified by its model number; for this page, that model is 58715109801. To confirm it on your actual unit, open the door and look for the serial/model label on the right side of the tub, then match that number when ordering parts or following troubleshooting steps in the 58715109801 owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on the dishwasher
On Kenmore 58715109801, the manual points to a serial label located on the right side of the tub (inside the door opening area).
Check these common spots:
- Right side wall of the tub (most common)
- Inner door frame around the opening
- Top edge of the door (near the latch area)
- Along the tub lip where the door seals
- On a sticker/plate that includes both model and serial
Why the model number matters (parts and troubleshooting)
The model number tells us the exact design family for your dishwasher, which affects fit and compatibility for items like the heating circuit, door sealing, and draining.
Examples of parts that are model-specific:
- Door sealing components such as the gasket 809006501
- Water fill components such as the dishwasher water inlet valve
- Drain components such as the drain hose and drain pump
- Control components such as the user interface and electronic control board
Quick check: model number vs. serial number
Use this table to avoid ordering the wrong part.
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact dishwasher design for parts and manuals | 58715109801 |
| Serial number | Identifies your specific unit for manufacturing info/service | Letters and numbers |
If the label is hard to read
Try these practical steps before you assume the tag is missing:
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap
- Use a flashlight at an angle to reduce glare
- Take a close-up photo and zoom in
- Check for a second label on the door edge or tub lip
Why it matters
Using the correct Kenmore model number prevents mismatched parts (like a door seal that leaks or a heater that will not mount correctly) and keeps troubleshooting steps aligned with your dishwasher’s features.
