Kenmore 58714002990 dishwasher Parts

Most Kenmore 58714002990 dishwashers are built-in, full-size units that fit a standard dishwasher opening. In most kitchens, that means about 24 inches wide, about 34 to 35 inches high (adjustable feet), and about 24 to 26 inches deep depending on how the door and handle sit.

To confirm your Kenmore 58714002990 will fit your cabinet cutout, we recommend measuring the opening and the dishwasher itself.

• Measure the opening width at the front and back (cabinet sides are not always perfectly parallel)
• Measure opening height from floor to underside of countertop
• Measure depth from the back wall to the front of the cabinet frame
• Check for toe-kick clearance and door swing clearance
• Verify water line, drain hose, and power routing space

These are the common target dimensions for a built-in dishwasher space.

Dishwasher sizing is mostly about the cabinet opening, not just the tub. Even a small mismatch can cause installation issues like a door that rubs, a unit that will not level correctly, or a toe-kick that will not reinstall.

If you are checking size because the door does not close or the unit seems misaligned, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Hinge 5304513274 (door hinge arm set)
• Door strike 154662601 (helps the latch catch correctly)
• Gasket 809006501 (lower door seal that can bunch or leak if mispositioned)

For Kenmore dishwasher model 58714002990, the most common problems are poor cleaning, not draining, leaking, not starting, and weak drying. These issues usually trace back to water flow problems, a door not latching, a drain restriction, or a heating circuit problem.

• Not cleaning well: spray arm holes clogged, overloaded racks, low water fill, or wash pump circulation issue
• Not draining: clogged drain path, kinked hose, or a drain pump problem
• Leaking: door seal wear, misaligned door, or a gasket sealing surface issue
• Won’t start: door latch not engaging, selector/control issue, or power supply problem
• Not drying: heater or thermostat issue, rinse aid empty, or cycle selection

1. Reset power: turn the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on.
2. Confirm the door latches firmly: a slightly open door can stop the cycle from starting.
3. Check the float: make sure it moves freely and is not stuck in the “up” position.
4. Inspect for standing water: remove debris from the sump area and check for a blocked drain path.
5. Run hot water at the sink first: improves wash performance and helps drying.

Dishwashers depend on correct water level, spray pressure, drain flow, and heat. When one of those basics is off, you can see multiple symptoms at once (for example, low fill can cause poor cleaning and poor drying).

• Use Kenmore he dishwasher error codes if your dishwasher is flashing lights or showing an error pattern.
• For loading and performance tips, follow how to use your dishwasher efficiently.

Yes. On the Kenmore 58714002990 dishwasher, you can replace the door springs, but you must do it safely and evenly on both sides so the door opens smoothly and stays at the angle you set.

• Shut off power at the breaker (dishwashers are hard-wired in many homes).
• Turn off the water supply valve under the sink.
• Open the door and remove the lower rack so you have room to work.
• If you need side access, pull the dishwasher forward slightly (protect the floor).

1. Support the door: Use a towel roll or a helper so the door does not drop.
2. Locate the spring and cable: Most Kenmore dishwashers use a spring connected to a cable/rope that runs to the door hinge area.
3. Remove tension carefully: Unhook the spring from the frame or tension bracket first, then disconnect the cable from the hinge if needed.
4. Install the new spring: Hook it to the same mounting points as the original.
5. Replace both sides: Install springs as a pair so tension matches.
6. Test door balance: The door should not slam shut or spring open.

If the door is still hard to close or won’t stay aligned after spring work, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Hinge 5304513274 (hinge arm set that controls door movement)
• Door strike 154662601 (the catch point the latch grabs)
• Latch w/hand 5304442175 (the door latch assembly)

Correct spring tension prevents the door from slamming, protects the hinge and latch, and helps the dishwasher seal properly so you avoid leaks and poor wash performance.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 58714002990, you can force a drain by starting a cycle and then canceling it; the control typically runs the drain pump for a short drain-out to empty the tub. If it will not drain, focus on the drain path, float system, and hose routing.

• Press Cancel or Start/Cancel once; wait 2 to 3 minutes for the drain pump to run.
• If your control requires it, press and hold Cancel or Start/Cancel for 3 seconds.
• If the keypad is unresponsive, turn power off at the breaker for 1 minute, restore power, then press Cancel.
• Make sure the door is fully closed and latched before you try to cancel and drain.

• Drain hose: Check for kinks, clogs, and a proper high loop; replace a damaged hose with the correct dishwasher drain hose 154225602.
• Float and float switch: Lift the float; it must move freely. If the switch is failing, replace the dishwasher float switch 154225501.
• Sump area: Remove the lower rack and check the sump for labels, glass, or food debris that can block the drain intake.

Draining the tub first prevents repeated overfilling and lets you troubleshoot the real cause (hose restriction, float switch issue, or sump blockage) without running full wash cycles.
