Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58716142405. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so the fit and connections are correct for items like door seals, drain hoses, inlet valves, and pumps; check the 58716142405 owner's manual for model-specific guidance.
How to make sure you order the right part
Use your full model number (58716142405) and confirm the symptom you are fixing before you buy.
- Match the model number on the rating label, not just “Kenmore dishwasher”
- Compare the part description to your issue (leak, no drain, no fill, poor wash)
- Check whether the part is a seal/gasket vs. a hose or pump (similar symptoms, different fixes)
- Inspect for visible wear: cracks, swelling, mineral buildup, loose clamps
- If you are installing the dishwasher, verify utility requirements and routing to avoid kinks

Why it matters
Kenmore dishwashers are built with model-specific mounting points, hose routing, and electrical connections. Ordering by model number helps you avoid returns and prevents installation issues like kinked hoses, poor filling from low water pressure, or improper leveling that can affect performance.
Helpful installation and troubleshooting notes
From the installation guidance for this platform:
- Use a 15 to 20 amp, grounded, 120V AC electrical supply
- Connect to a hot water supply with enough pressure for an adequate fill
- Flush the water line before final connection to help prevent screen clogging
- Avoid kinked water or drain hoses
- The dishwasher performs best when properly leveled

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label, typically found around the door opening (inner door frame, top edge of the door, or along the tub opening). For this parts page, the model is 58716142405; confirm your label matches before ordering parts or troubleshooting. See the 58716142405 owner's manual.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common label locations first:
- Inner door frame (left or right side when the door is open)
- Top edge of the door
- Tub opening or tub wall near the door
- Behind the lower kickplate area (less common, but possible)
- Paperwork that came with the dishwasher (Use and Care Guide)
What to write down (and why)
Record both the model and serial number exactly as shown; Kenmore model numbers often share prefixes, and one digit can change the correct door seal, drain hose, or control parts.
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example for this page |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts diagrams and fit | 58716142405 |
| Serial number | Production run details and service reference | (varies by unit) |
| Purchase date | Warranty and maintenance history | (your date) |
Quick tips to avoid ordering the wrong part
- Match every digit of the model number (no missing zeros)
- Use the full model number, not just the 587. prefix
- If the label is worn, take a clear photo with the door open and good lighting
- Confirm the part category you need (for example: door seal vs. splash shield)
Why it matters
Kenmore dishwashers in the 587 series can look similar, but internal components like the water inlet valve, drain pump, and door sealing parts vary by exact model. Using the correct model number keeps repairs accurate and prevents leaks, no-drain issues, and fit problems.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58716142405 is worth it when the fix is a leak, drain issue, or wear item and the total repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. It is less worth it when multiple major components (pump motor, tub, control) are failing at the same time.
Quick way we decide: cost, age, and the type of failure
Use these checkpoints before you buy parts or schedule service:
- If it is under ~10 years old, repairs usually make sense.
- If the repair is under ~50% of replacement cost, repairing is usually the better value.
- If the problem is a leak or poor draining, it is often a single-part fix.
- If the tub is damaged or multiple big parts are bad, replacement is usually the smarter spend.
- If you are still within the 1-year warranty window, repair is the clear choice (the manual describes the warranty terms).
For model-specific operating and care guidance that prevents repeat failures, use the 58716142405 owner’s manual.
Common “worth it” repairs on this model
These are typical repairs that restore performance without major teardown:
- Replace a leaking lower door seal: gasket 809006501
- Fix a drain problem caused by a split or kinked drain line: hose 807117001
- Restore drying and heating performance by addressing heater-related issues (after confirming safe power is disconnected)
- Correct overfilling symptoms by cleaning the overfill protector (float) so it moves freely
When replacement is usually the better option
If you are seeing any of the patterns below, replacement tends to be more cost-effective:
| Situation | What it usually means | Typical best choice |
|---|---|---|
| Repeated leaks from multiple areas | Several seals or assemblies are worn | Replace if costs stack up |
| Poor wash plus poor drain plus noise | Multiple systems involved (wash, drain, motor) | Replace more often |
| Tub damage or major structural issue | High labor and high part cost | Replace |
Why it matters
A dishwasher repair is “worth it” when it restores reliable washing and drying without creating a cycle of repeat service. Regular care also helps; the manual notes the interior is generally self-cleaning with normal use, and it gives cleaning guidance for the tub gasket area and overfill protector.
