Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including Kenmore model 58715263900. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so items like the pump, heater, door seal, and inlet valve fit and function correctly.
How to make sure you order the right part
Use your full model number (58715263900) and compare the part name and ID before ordering. For this model, common repair parts include:
- Pump A00126401
- Dishwasher door seal 809006501
- Heater 154825001
- Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401
- Drain hose 807117001
What parts are usually available (and what they fix)
Many Kenmore dishwasher repairs are routine wear-and-tear issues. Here are examples of what customers typically replace.
| Symptom | Common part type | Example for 58715263900 |
|---|---|---|
| Not draining | Drain hose, pump | Drain hose, pump |
| Leaking at the door | Door seal, splash shield gasket | Door seal, gasket kit |
| Not heating or poor drying | Heater | Heater |
| Not filling | Water inlet valve, float switch | Inlet valve, switch |
Why the model number matters
Kenmore dishwashers were built by different manufacturers over the years, so parts are not “one size fits all.” Using 58715263900 prevents ordering a look-alike part that mounts differently, uses a different connector, or changes wash performance.
Helpful references for this dishwasher
- Use the 58715263900 owner’s manual for operating tips, loading guidance, and cleaning steps.
- Use the 58715263900 installation guide for utility requirements (15 to 20 amp grounded 120V circuit, hot water supply, proper leveling, and correct drain hose routing).
Why it matters
Correct-fit OEM parts help your dishwasher seal properly, fill and drain reliably, and maintain cleaning performance; that saves time and prevents repeat repairs.

How big is the Kenmore dishwasher model 58715263900?
The Kenmore dishwasher model 58715263900 is a standard built-in size; it fits a cabinet opening height of at least 33-3/4 inches with the leveling feet adjusted as needed. For exact cutout and clearance details, use the 58715263900 installation guide.
What to measure (so you know it will fit)
Measure your space before ordering parts or planning an install:
- Opening height: underside of countertop to finished floor
- Opening width: inside cabinet wall to wall
- Opening depth: back wall to front of cabinet frame
- Toe-kick clearance: space for the lower access panel
- Door swing clearance: room to open the door fully
Fit guidance for this model
The installation instructions for this Kenmore dishwasher call out a key fit requirement: if your opening height is 33-3/4 inches (84.5 cm) or more, the unit fits without modifying the countertop or flooring, and you level it by adjusting the front and rear levelers.
If your opening height is right at 33-3/4 inches, the instructions note the countertop mounting brackets may need to be removed to prevent console damage; floor anchoring is then used when securing the dishwasher.
Quick reference table
| Measurement | What we use it for | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Opening height | Confirms the dishwasher can slide in | 33-3/4 in minimum opening height |
| Level front-to-back | Prevents leaks and poor draining | Door sits square; tub is level |
| Level side-to-side | Helps racks roll correctly | No rocking; even rack movement |
Why it matters
Correct sizing and leveling helps prevent door leaks, improves wash performance, and reduces drain issues. A dishwasher that is too tight in the opening can also rub the console or bind the door.
For step-by-step leveling and securing instructions, follow the 58715263900 installation guide and keep the 58715263900 owner’s manual handy for operating and loading details.

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
To identify your Kenmore dishwasher model, open the door and look for the model and serial number label on the inside edge of the tub. On Kenmore model 58715263900, the manual shows the serial label location on the right side of the tub area.
Where to look (fast checklist)
- Open the dishwasher door fully.
- Check the inside edge of the tub frame (not the outer door panel).
- Look along the right-hand side first (common on this Kenmore design).
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth if it is dusty or greasy.
- Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.
What the label usually includes
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 587.1526xxx |
| Serial number | Production info and service history | Letters and numbers |
| Electrical ratings | Installation and troubleshooting reference | Volts/amps |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore dishwasher parts and service information. Even small model-number differences can change fit and compatibility for items like a door seal, heater, or pump.
Tips if the label is hard to read
- Take a close-up photo with your phone and zoom in.
- Try viewing the label with a flashlight from the side to reduce glare.
- If the label is damaged, compare your control panel layout and features with the diagrams in the 58715263900 owner’s manual.

How to hard reset a Kenmore dishwasher?
For Kenmore dishwasher model 58715263900, the most reliable hard reset is a full power cycle: turn the breaker OFF (or unplug) for about 5 minutes, then restore power and start a new cycle. This clears many control glitches and interrupted-cycle issues; use the 58715263900 owner's manual for the exact control sequence on your panel.
Hard reset options (best to least invasive)
- Power cycle reset: breaker OFF or unplug for ~5 minutes, then power back ON.
- Cancel and drain: press START/CANCEL; the dishwasher runs a 90-second drain, then you can select a new cycle.
- Control lock check: if the keypad seems unresponsive, disable Child Lock/Control Lock per the 58715263900 owner's manual.
- Run a fresh cycle: choose Normal (or your preferred cycle) and press Start.
What to do right after the reset
- Close the door firmly and wait a few seconds for the control to “wake up.”
- Press START/CANCEL once to clear the current cycle if it was mid-program.
- Re-select the cycle and options (for example, Hi Temp, Sanitize, Heat Dry) and start.
- If the unit won’t fill after resetting, confirm the house water supply valve is open.
Common symptoms and what the reset helps
| Symptom | Reset step to try first | What it often clears |
|---|---|---|
| Stuck mid-cycle | Power cycle | Control logic hang-up |
| Won’t stop running | START/CANCEL (90-sec drain) | Cancel state not completing |
| Buttons not responding | Control lock off | Locked keypad |
| Error code showing | Power cycle, then restart | Temporary fault after interruption |
Why it matters
A hard reset restores the electronic control to a clean start. On the 58715263900, using START/CANCEL is also important because it forces a drain cycle, which helps prevent standing water and lets you restart with the correct cycle selection.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715263900 is usually worth it when the problem is isolated (leak, no drain, poor cleaning) and the tub and racks are still in good shape; a targeted repair often restores normal performance without the cost and disruption of replacement.
Quick way to decide
- Repair makes sense when the dishwasher:
- Cleans well after basic maintenance and one failed part is identified
- Has no rust-through or cracks in the tub
- Has a door that still seals and latches correctly
- Has normal household water pressure (typically 20 to 120 psi) and hot water around 120°F (49°C)
- Replacement makes more sense when the dishwasher:
- Has repeated failures in different systems (wash, drain, heat, controls)
- Has chronic leaks from the tub or major structural damage
- Needs multiple high-cost parts at the same time
Common repairs that are often “worth it” on this model
Many performance complaints trace back to a few serviceable items:
- Won’t drain or drains slowly: check the drain path; replace the drain hose 807117001 if kinked, split, or restricted
- Not filling or fills slowly: test/replace the dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401
- Poor wash results: confirm spray arms can rotate and loading is not blocking them (see 58715263900 owner’s manual)
- Water heating or drying issues: inspect/replace the heater 154825001 (avoid touching the heating element during or immediately after use)
Cost-to-benefit checklist
| What you’re seeing | Most likely area | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Food soils left on dishes | Water temp, pressure, loading, spray arms | Verify 120°F supply, 20 to 120 psi, clear spray paths |
| Standing water | Drain system | Inspect hose routing; consider drain hose replacement |
| Slow fill or no fill | Fill valve | Check inlet screen; replace inlet valve if faulty |
| Leaks at the door | Door sealing | Inspect and replace the door seal if torn or flattened |
Why it matters
A dishwasher that has correct water temperature, adequate pressure, and unobstructed spray arms can often be brought back to reliable cleaning with one focused repair. That keeps your kitchen setup intact and avoids the time and cost of a full installation.

What is the most common thing to break on a dishwasher?
On the Kenmore 58715263900 dishwasher, the most common “failure” we see is poor cleaning caused by restricted water flow, usually from loading issues that block spray-arm rotation or debris buildup in the filter and glass trap. Leaks at the door seal and draining problems are also frequent.
Most common problems (and what usually causes them)
- Dishes still dirty: items blocking spray arms, nesting dishes, low water temperature, or low home water pressure
- Detergent left in the cup: dispenser blocked by a tall item, or weak water action reaching the dispenser
- Leaks: unit not level, excess suds from spilled rinse aid, or a worn door seal
- Won’t drain well: clogged drain path, dirty air gap (if installed), or a restricted drain hose
- Poor drying: HEAT DRY not selected, or heating circuit issues
Quick checks we recommend first (58715263900)
Use these checks before replacing parts; they match common causes listed in the troubleshooting section of the 58715263900 owner's manual.
- Confirm spray arms spin freely and nothing protrudes through the rack
- Avoid nesting bowls and plates; keep open ends facing down
- Verify incoming water temperature is about 120°F (49°C)
- Verify home water pressure is 20 to 120 psi
- Check the glass trap in the center of the filter; empty and reinstall
- If you have a countertop drain air gap, remove the cover and clean it
When a part is actually “broken” (common replacements)
If cleaning and loading are correct and performance is still poor, these parts are common culprits on many Kenmore dishwashers:
| Symptom | Most likely part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Leaks at the bottom/front of door | Door sealing | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| No heat, poor drying | Heating circuit | Heater 154825001 |
| Won’t fill or fills slowly | Water supply valve | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Poor wash action, loud circulation | Pump/motor | Pump A00126401 |
Why it matters
Most “breakdowns” start as a water-flow problem. When spray arms cannot rotate or water is not hot enough, the dishwasher cannot remove food soils, detergent may not dissolve, and cycles can end with residue, leaks, or standing water.
