Kenmore 58714132101 dishwasher Parts

To tell which Kenmore dishwasher you have, open the door and look for the rating label (serial plate) on the tub wall just inside the door; it lists the model number and serial number. For your unit, the model number format looks like 58714132101.

Where to find the model and serial label

Check these common spots on Kenmore dishwashers like model 58714132101:

• On the tub wall just inside the door opening
• Along the left or right side of the door frame area
• Near the top edge of the tub opening (inside the door)
• On a label that includes both model and serial fields

For the exact label location and how it is referenced in documentation, use the 58714132101 owner’s manual.

What to write down (and why)

Record the information exactly as printed so we can match the correct parts (like a door seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve) and the correct installation details.

• Model number (example: 58714132101)
• Serial number (unique to your dishwasher)
• Brand (Kenmore)
• Any suffixes or additional digits/letters shown on the label

Quick guide: model vs. serial

Item	What it tells us	Used for
Model number	The dishwasher design family	Correct part fit and diagrams
Serial number	Your specific production unit	Version changes, service history

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple series, but parts like the door seal, latch components, and water inlet valve can vary by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part and reduces installation issues.

To remove a spray arm on your Kenmore 58714132101 dishwasher, we first stop the cycle, pull the rack out for access, then release the spray arm fastener (typically a retaining nut or center clip) and lift the arm straight off the hub so you can clean or replace it.

Before you start

• Turn the dishwasher off at the breaker to prevent accidental starts.
• If the unit was running, unlatch the door and wait a few seconds for wash action to stop before opening.
• Pull the lower rack out (and the upper rack if you’re working on the middle/upper arm).
• Keep small parts (retainers, washers) together so they go back in the same order.

For diagrams and the exact spray arm style used on this model, use the 58714132101 owner's manual.

Removal steps (most common Kenmore 587/Frigidaire-built style)

Lower spray arm

1. Remove the bottom rack.
2. Locate the center retainer at the spray arm hub.
3. Turn the retainer counterclockwise (or release the locking tabs, depending on version).
4. Lift the spray arm straight up and off.

Middle/upper spray arm (under the top rack)

1. Slide the top rack out.
2. If your model uses a feed tube, release the tube connection at the rear of the tub or rack manifold.
3. Release the spray arm retainer and lift the arm off.

Quick checks while it’s off

• Rinse debris from spray arm holes; clear stubborn clogs with a toothpick.
• Make sure nothing in the racks can block spray arm rotation (tall pans, utensils sticking through).
• Reinstall the arm and spin it by hand; it should rotate freely without rubbing.

Reinstall tips

What to verify	What “good” looks like
Retainer tightness	Snug and secure, not cross-threaded
Arm movement	Spins freely by hand
Rack loading clearance	No items protrude into the arm’s path

Why it matters

A spray arm that is clogged, loose, or blocked cannot rotate properly, which leads to poor cleaning and can leave detergent undissolved. Proper loading and clear rotation are key to wash performance.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is worth it when the unit still cleans well and the problem is a common, fixable failure (leaks, draining issues, or a no-fill condition). For Kenmore model 58714132101, we recommend comparing the repair cost to the price of a replacement and the dishwasher’s overall condition.

Quick decision checklist

• Repair if the issue is isolated (leak at the door, won’t drain, won’t fill) and the tub is in good shape.
• Repair if you can replace a single part like a seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve.
• Replace if multiple major systems are failing (wash motor plus control plus leaks).
• Replace if the dishwasher has repeated breakdowns and downtime is becoming routine.
• Replace if racks are badly rusted and multiple internal leaks are present.

Common repairs that are usually cost-effective

These are frequent, straightforward fixes on many Kenmore dishwashers, including 58714132101:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for this model
Water leaking at the bottom of the door	Door seal	Gasket 809006501
Dishwasher won’t drain or drains slowly	Drain path, hose, clogs	Hose 807117001
Dishwasher won’t fill with water	Fill circuit	Water valve 154637401
Dishes not drying well, water stays cool	Heating circuit	Heater 154665201

Safety and planning notes (before you decide)

We follow the safety guidance in the 58714132101 owner’s manual when troubleshooting and repairing:

• Disconnect electrical power to the dishwasher before servicing.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
• If your hot water has not been used for 2 weeks or more, run hot water at the sink for several minutes before starting the dishwasher.
• Keep detergents and rinse agents out of children’s reach.

Why it matters

A targeted repair often restores normal washing performance, avoids the time and cost of a new installation, and keeps a good Kenmore dishwasher in service. Using the correct model-specific parts (like a door gasket or inlet valve) also reduces repeat leaks and callbacks.
