Kenmore 58714249991 dishwasher Parts

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher model 58714249991 is usually worth it when the problem is isolated (leak, fill issue, door not latching) and the tub and inner door panel are in good shape; common repairs cost less than replacement and avoid a full reinstall. Use the owner's manual to match symptoms to likely causes.

Quick way to decide

We use these checkpoints to decide whether to repair or replace:

• The dishwasher completes cycles without repeated error symptoms (or the issue is new and specific)
• The leak is from a serviceable part (valve, gasket, hose connection), not widespread tub damage
• The door closes and latches consistently (no intermittent stopping)
• You can identify a single failed component (fill, drain, heat, latch, dispenser)
• The unit is otherwise cleaning well after basic maintenance (filters, spray arms, loading)

Common repairs that are often worth it

These are frequent, targeted fixes on dishwashers like the 58714249991:

• No fill or slow fill: replace the water valve 154637401
• Door won’t stay closed or won’t start: inspect the strike and latch; the door strike 154662601 is a common wear item
• Leaks at the tub opening: inspect and replace the dishwasher tub gasket 8581548276014
• Detergent or rinse aid issues: check the dispenser and cap; the dishwasher rinse-aid dispenser cap 154388801 can stop proper dispensing if cracked or missing

Repair vs. replace: what to compare

What you’re seeing	Usually points to	Typical next step
One clear symptom (won’t fill, won’t latch, small leak)	Repair	Replace the failed part and retest
Multiple unrelated problems in a short time	Replace planning	Price out parts and labor before investing
Poor drying only	Repair/maintenance	Verify hot water is at least 120°F (49°C); check options and loading
Small water in bottom of tub after cycle	Normal	No repair; it helps keep the seal lubricated

Why it matters

A repair keeps your kitchen setup intact and can restore performance quickly. Also, the manual notes that a small amount of water in the tub can be normal, and that low incoming water temperature (minimum 120°F) can affect drying and results, so a “performance problem” is not always a failed part.

Common problems with our Kenmore 58714249991 dishwasher include not starting (door not fully latched), poor cleaning or drying, unusual noises from items hitting the spray arm, and leaks caused by loading issues that prevent the door from sealing. For model-specific operating and troubleshooting tips, use the 58714249991 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what to check first

• Won’t start or stops mid-cycle: confirm the door is firmly closed and latched.
• Dishes not clean: verify correct cycle selection, proper loading, and hot water supply.
• Dishes not drying: use rinse aid, run hot water, and avoid nesting cups and bowls.
• Noise (ticking, rattling, swishing): swishing is normal; ticking often means something is hitting the wash arm.
• Leaks: check for items sticking out that keep the door from closing and sealing.

Quick troubleshooting steps (safe, no tools)

1. Re-load so nothing protrudes past the racks (especially handles and long utensils).
2. Run the kitchen hot water until it is hot, then start the cycle.
3. Use rinse aid; replace a missing or damaged cap with the dishwasher rinse-aid dispenser cap 154388801.
4. If the unit is newly installed or recently moved, confirm the drain setup has a 32-inch high loop or an air gap.
5. If filling seems weak or slow, check the home water supply valve is fully open.

Installation-related issues that cause “washing problems”

Improper drain and water line routing can create performance problems even when the dishwasher is working normally.

Issue	What it can cause	What to look for
Drain hose missing 32-inch loop (or no air gap)	Siphoning, poor wash results	Hose routed low under sink
Kinked drain or water line	Slow fill, poor cleaning, drain issues	Tight bends behind unit
Disposer plug not knocked out (first-time connection)	Won’t drain	New disposer connection

For the exact routing and leveling requirements, follow the 58714249991 installation guide.

Why it matters

Most “common problems” trace back to basics: door sealing, water temperature, correct loading, and proper drain setup. Fixing those first prevents repeat issues and helps the heater, spray arms, and detergent work as designed.

The Kenmore dishwasher model 58714249991 is a standard built-in size; most installations use a 24-inch-wide cabinet opening with an adjustable height range to fit under the countertop. For exact fit and leveling details for your kitchen opening, use the measurements and adjustment chart in the installation guide.

Typical size you should plan for

Most Kenmore built-in dishwashers like model 58714249991 fit these common cabinet dimensions:

• Width: 24 inches (standard opening)
• Height: adjustable to match the cabinet opening using leveling legs
• Depth: designed to sit flush with standard countertops when installed correctly

What the installation guide confirms for this model

The installation instructions for 58714249991 include a leveling-leg adjustment chart based on cabinet opening height. That means the unit is designed to fit under a countertop and be leveled to match the opening.

Cabinet opening height and leveling leg turns (from the guide)

Cabinet opening height	Suggested leveler adjustment
34 in (86.4 cm)	0 turns
34 1/8 in (86.7 cm)	2 turns
34 5/16 in (87.2 cm)	6 turns
34 1/2 in (87.6 cm)	9 turns

How to measure your space before you buy parts or install

• Measure from the underside of the countertop to the floor at the front and back
• Confirm the opening is wide enough for a standard 24-inch dishwasher
• Leave a little clearance so the dishwasher can slide in without scraping cabinets
• Level the dishwasher side-to-side and front-to-back after positioning
• If you need extra height, the guide notes you can add shims under the levelers

Why it matters

Correct sizing and leveling helps the door close properly, prevents leaks at the tub gasket area, and improves wash performance by keeping spray arms and water level operating as designed.
