What size is a Kenmore dishwasher 58715232900?
The Kenmore dishwasher model 58715232900 is a standard built-in size: most installations use a 24-inch-wide opening, with an adjustable height to fit common countertop cutouts. For exact fit details (including leveling leg adjustments), use the 58715232900 installation guide.
Typical dimensions and what to plan for
Most built-in dishwashers in this Kenmore/Frigidaire-style platform fit these common ranges:
- Width: about 24 inches (cabinet opening)
- Height: typically 33-3/4 to 35 inches adjustable (leveling legs)
- Depth: typically 24 to 26 inches depending on door and handle style
- Minimum opening height called out for fit: 33-3/4 inches (with levelers all the way up)
Quick fit checklist
- Measure the opening width, height, and depth before ordering parts or scheduling install.
- Confirm the opening height from underside of countertop to floor.
- Plan for leveling; the front and rear legs adjust to match the opening.
- Make sure the unit can sit level side-to-side and front-to-back.
- Verify drain hose and wiring routing will not interfere with the cabinet cutout.
Installation opening guidance (from the install instructions)
The installation instructions for this model family specify that if the opening height is at least 33-3/4 inches, the dishwasher fits without modifying the countertop or flooring, and you can set the levelers all the way up.
| Measurement | What it affects | Typical target |
|---|---|---|
| Opening width | Whether the dishwasher slides in | 24-inch opening |
| Opening height | Whether it fits under the counter | 33-3/4 inches minimum |
| Leveling leg adjustment | Final installed height and level | Adjust to match opening |
Why it matters
Dishwashers that are too tall can bind under the countertop, and dishwashers that are not level can drain poorly, leak at the door seal, or wash inconsistently. Getting the opening measurements right helps the 58715232900 install cleanly and run as designed.

How to do a hard reset on a Kenmore dishwasher?
For a Kenmore dishwasher model 58715232900, a “hard reset” is usually done by canceling the current cycle and restoring power so the control clears and returns to standby. Start with the Cancel/Drain function, then power-cycle at the breaker if the keypad is unresponsive; follow the exact button sequence in the 58715232900 owner's manual.
Quick reset methods (try in this order)
- Cancel/Drain reset: Press START/CANCEL to stop the cycle and let the unit drain (if it was running).
- Power-cycle reset: Turn the dishwasher OFF at the circuit breaker for 3 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Door reset: Close the door fully, then press START/CANCEL again to clear a stuck selection.
- Control lock check: If buttons do nothing, look for a control lock option in the 58715232900 owner's manual and turn it off.
What to expect after a reset
| Reset type | What it clears | What it does not fix |
|---|---|---|
| START/CANCEL | Current cycle and drain command | Leaks, no-fill, no-drain hardware issues |
| Breaker power-cycle | Glitches, frozen keypad, odd lights | Failed control board, bad latch, wiring faults |
If it still will not start after resetting
These are the most common “looks like it needs a reset” causes on this Kenmore dishwasher:
- Door not fully latched (the cycle will not begin)
- Water supply valve turned off or low water pressure
- Drain problem leaving water in the tub from the last run
- Float/overfill protector stuck up (can prevent filling)
- A failed component such as the dishwasher door latch A00099902 or the dishwasher electronic control board 5304512731
Why it matters
Resetting clears the control’s current command so the dishwasher can accept a new cycle selection and run normally. If the dishwasher repeatedly needs resets, the issue is usually a door-latch, fill, drain, or control problem rather than a one-time glitch.

How to identify Kenmore dishwasher model?
To identify your Kenmore dishwasher model, open the door and look for the model and serial number label on the right side of the tub; for Kenmore model 58715232900, the manual shows the serial label location in the dishwasher features diagram. Use that full model number when ordering parts or checking error codes.
Where to look on Kenmore 58715232900
We recommend checking these common label locations in this order:
- Right side of the tub (most common on this style; look near the front opening)
- Inner door frame or door jamb area
- Along the top rim of the tub opening
- On the side wall of the tub near the front (label can be partially hidden by the rack)
If the label is worn, use a flashlight and look for faint printed characters.
What the model number looks like (and why it matters)
Kenmore dishwasher model numbers are typically a long numeric string. For this unit, the model number is 58715232900 (often shown in the manual family as 587.1523xxx).
Why you need the exact model number
| What you’re doing | Why the exact model number matters | What can go wrong if it’s off by 1 digit |
|---|---|---|
| Ordering parts | Ensures correct fit and electrical match | Wrong door seal, pump, or heating element |
| Troubleshooting | Matches the right diagnostics and wiring | You chase the wrong symptom path |
| Checking error codes | Points to the correct Kenmore error-code set | Misreading what the control is reporting |
Quick tips to record it correctly
- Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as printed
- Take a clear photo before the label fades further

Helpful references for this model
- Use the 58715232900 owner's manual to confirm the label location and identify key components (like the heating element, filter area, and spray arms).
Why it matters
Kenmore dishwashers in the 587 prefix family can share similar styling, but parts like the water inlet valve, drain hose routing, and door sealing surfaces can vary by exact model. Using the correct model number prevents returns and speeds up repairs.

What are common problems with Kenmore dishwashers?
Common problems on the Kenmore 58715232900 dishwasher include poor cleaning (food left on dishes), poor drying, detergent not dispensing, leaks, and unusual or changing wash sounds. Many issues trace back to loading, water temperature/pressure, or spray-arm circulation; our 58715232900 owner's manual covers the built-in troubleshooting checks.
Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
- Food soils left on dishes: blocked spray arms, nesting/overloading, low water temperature, low water pressure, or hard water
- Dishes not dry: HEAT DRY not selected, rinse aid issues, or airflow/venting limitations
- Detergent left in cups: old detergent, dispenser blocked by dishes, or cycle not completing
- Leaks/overflow: too much detergent, wrong detergent type, spilled rinse aid causing foam, or dishwasher not level
- Noises that seem “new”: normal fill and circulation sounds; sound changes when wash action switches spray arms
Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)
- Run hot water at the sink until it is hot before starting; most dishwashers clean best with 120°F (49°C) incoming water.
- Confirm home water pressure is in the typical dishwasher range of 20 to 120 psi.
- Reload to prevent nesting; keep tall items from blocking the middle and lower spray arms.
- Use fresh automatic dishwasher detergent; measure carefully, especially with soft water.
- Wipe up any rinse aid spills immediately to prevent foaming and overflow.
- Verify the dishwasher is level; leveling is covered in the 58715232900 installation guide.
When a part is commonly involved
| Symptom | Common part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Not draining, water left in tub | Drain path | Drain hose 807117001 |
| Not filling or fills slowly | Water supply | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Leaking at the door | Door sealing | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
Why it matters
These checks protect wash performance and help prevent leaks. For example, low water temperature or blocked spray arms can leave food soils behind even when the pump and motor are working normally.
