Kenmore 58716259402 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still offer replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58716259402; common service items like door seals, drain hoses, inlet valves, heaters, and racks are typically available as long as the model has supported components in the parts system.

How to confirm the right part for your Kenmore 58716259402

We recommend matching by model number first, then verifying the part’s location and function in the diagrams and instructions.

• Use the model number 58716259402 when searching parts to avoid fit issues
• Compare the part name to the symptom (leak, no heat, not draining, door won’t latch)
• Check mounting position and connections before ordering (hose routing, wire terminals, seal placement)
• If you are installing or reinstalling the dishwasher, follow the safety and connection steps in the installation guide
• For operating and care details that affect performance (loading, detergent, cleaning), use the 58716259402 owner’s manual

Common parts customers replace (and what they fix)

Symptom	Likely part area	Example part for this model
Water leaking at the door	Door sealing surface	Dishwasher door seal 809006501
Not draining or slow drain	Drain path	Drain hose (807117001) or drain pump (154580301)
Not filling or fills slowly	Water supply inlet	Water inlet valve (154637401)
Poor drying or no heat	Heating circuit	Heater (154825001)

Why it matters

Using the correct model-specific part helps prevent leaks, poor cleaning, and repeat repairs. It also saves time during installation because connections, seals, and mounting points match the Kenmore 58716259402 design.

Quick tips before you order

• Confirm the symptom happens every cycle, not just on one wash option
• Inspect for simple causes first (kinked drain hose, clogged filter area, loose clamp)
• If you see an error code, use a Kenmore dishwasher error code reference to pinpoint the system involved

Yes, it’s usually worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher when the problem is a common wear item (seal, valve, drain hose, heater) and the tub and racks are still in good shape. For Kenmore model 58716259402, we use the troubleshooting and maintenance guidance in the 58716259402 owner’s manual to confirm symptoms before replacing parts.

Quick way to decide

Use this checklist to make a repair decision in minutes:

• Repair it if the issue is a leak at the door, a no-drain problem, or poor drying and the dishwasher otherwise runs normally.
• Repair it if you can point to one failed part (for example a worn seal or failed inlet valve).
• Repair it if the unit is cleaning well but needs a reliability fix (clamps, gaskets, rollers).
• Consider replacement if the tub is rusted, the door won’t align due to cabinet or frame damage, or multiple major systems are failing at once.
• Consider replacement if repeated leaks have damaged wiring, insulation, or the control area.

Common repairs that are typically “worth it”

These are frequent, targeted fixes on this style of Kenmore dishwasher:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for this model
Water leaking at the bottom of the door	Door seal	Dishwasher door seal 809006501
Not filling or fills slowly	Water inlet valve	Valve 154637401
Won’t drain or drains poorly	Drain path, hose, pump	Hose 807117001
Dishes not drying, water stays cool	Heating circuit	Heater 154825001

Why it matters

This dishwasher’s wash system recirculates filtered water for cleaning performance, and it relies on proper fill, drain, and heating to work correctly. Fixing a single failed component often restores normal operation without the cost and disruption of replacing the entire dishwasher.

What we recommend before buying parts

Follow these steps first so you replace the right component:

• Confirm the cycle and options you’re using and compare to the 58716259402 owner’s manual.
• Check for simple causes: kinked drain hose, clogged sink/disposer connection, or a blocked spray arm.
• Look for the exact leak location (door edge vs. under the unit vs. at the inlet valve).
• If the dishwasher was exposed to freezing, follow the winterizing and restore-service steps in the manual and recheck for leaks.

To tell which Kenmore dishwasher you have, match the model number on the serial label inside the tub to the number on your paperwork. On Kenmore model 58716259402, the serial label is located on the right side of the tub; check it with the door open and racks pulled out. See the 58716259402 owner's manual for the exact label location diagram.

Where to find the model and serial label

Look for a sticker or metal tag inside the dishwasher tub:

• Open the door fully and pull out the upper rack for a clear view
• Check the right side wall of the tub (most common spot for this model)
• Wipe away moisture or film so the numbers are readable
• Write down the full model number and serial number (take a photo as backup)
• Use the full model number when ordering parts like a door seal, heater, or water inlet valve

What the number should look like

Kenmore dishwasher model numbers are typically a long numeric string (often 10 to 12 digits). For this unit, the model number format matches:

Item	Example for this dishwasher	What it’s used for
Model number	58716259402	Identifies the exact dishwasher version for parts and manuals
Serial number	(varies)	Production tracking, service history, warranty reference

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across series, but parts and wiring can differ by model. Using the correct model number helps us match the right components and instructions, especially for fit-critical items like the dishwasher door seal 809006501 or electrical connection details in the 58716259402 installation guide.

On a Kenmore dishwasher, the F2E2 error code points to a user interface or keypad problem (a stuck key, moisture in the control panel, or a communication issue between the keypad and the electronic control). For model 58716259402, start with a reset and a careful control-panel inspection using the 58716259402 owner's manual.

What to do first (quick checks)

• Reset power: turn the dishwasher off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
• Check for stuck keys: press each key once; none should feel jammed or stay “pressed.”
• Dry the control area: wipe the control panel and the top edge of the door; let it air-dry.
• Confirm the door closes firmly: a partially latched door can cause odd control behavior.
• Try a different cycle: select a basic cycle and start it to see if the code returns.

If the code comes back: likely causes

F2E2 is usually triggered by one of these conditions:

Likely cause	What you may notice	Typical fix
Stuck or shorted keypad button	Beeping, random selections, code returns quickly	Dry/clean panel; replace user interface if needed
Moisture intrusion at control panel	Code appears after steam-heavy cycles	Improve drying/venting; replace panel seal if damaged
Control-to-UI communication issue	Intermittent response to buttons	Check wiring connections; replace control or UI as needed
Main control problem	No reliable response to inputs	Replace electronic control board

Parts that are commonly involved

If troubleshooting points to the controls, these model-matched parts are commonly replaced:

• Dishwasher switch assembly 154852501 (user interface)
• Dishwasher control 5304512731 (electronic control board)

Why it matters

When the keypad or user interface misreads inputs, the dishwasher can stop mid-cycle, refuse to start, or run the wrong options. Addressing F2E2 early helps prevent repeated cycle interruptions and protects the control area from ongoing moisture damage.

For code definitions and symptom matching, we also use the Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes guide as a quick reference.
