The Kenmore dishwasher model 58716253402 is a standard built-in size; most installations use a 24-inch-wide opening with an adjustable height range to fit under a countertop. For exact fit and clearance details for your kitchen, we recommend confirming measurements in the 58716253402 installation guide.

Typical dimensions and what to measure

Dishwashers like Kenmore 58716253402 are designed to slide into a cabinet opening; the key is measuring the opening, not just the appliance.

Measure these three items:

• Opening width (side-to-side between cabinets)
• Opening height (underside of countertop to finished floor)
• Opening depth (back wall to front of cabinets)

Height fit guidance (from installation requirements)

The installation instructions call out a minimum opening height that helps you confirm whether the unit will fit without modifying the countertop or flooring.

Measurement	What to check	Typical target
Opening height	Countertop underside to finished floor	At least 33-3/4 in.
Leveling	Side-to-side and front-to-back	Level after sliding in
Clearance	Console/top area	Brackets may need removal in tight openings

Why the opening height matters

If the opening height is tight, the dishwasher may not slide in smoothly, may rub the console, or may not level correctly. Proper leveling also helps prevent leaks at the door and improves wash performance.

Quick install-fit checklist

Use this list before you buy parts or pull the dishwasher out:

• Turn power off and verify the unit can slide out safely
• Confirm the opening height is 33-3/4 inches or more
• Check that the dishwasher can be leveled using the front and rear levelers
• Make sure the drain hose and plumbing do not contact wiring
• Review bracket and anchoring steps in the 58716253402 installation guide

On Kenmore dishwashers like model 58716253402, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the tub. Open the door and look along the right side of the tub for the serial label; it lists both the model and serial number. See the 58716253402 owner's manual.

Where to look (quick checklist)

• Open the dishwasher door fully
• Look inside the tub, not on the outer door panel
• Check the right side wall of the tub for the serial label
• Wipe the label gently if it is cloudy or spotted
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown

What the label helps you do

Having the exact model number lets us match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your dishwasher, including common repair items like the dishwasher door seal 809006501 and other fit-specific components.

Common label locations (comparison)

Dishwasher style	Most common label spot	What you will see
Built-in Kenmore (like 58716253402)	Right side of tub (inside door opening)	Model number, serial number
Some other dishwashers	Door edge or tub frame	Model number, serial number

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different series; one digit difference can change which heater, valve, rack, or seal fits. Using the label information prevents ordering the wrong replacement part.

On Kenmore dishwashers, the F2E2 error code points to a keypad or user interface problem; the control is not reading the button presses correctly. For your Kenmore model 58716253402, we use the same troubleshooting approach: check for a stuck key, moisture in the console, or a loose connection between the user interface and main control.

Quick checks to try first

• Power the dishwasher off at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Press each key once to confirm none feel stuck or stay “pressed.”
• Wipe the control panel dry; moisture can cause false key signals.
• Start a cycle and watch whether the code returns immediately or after pressing keys.
• Review the control and indicator behavior in the 58716253402 owner's manual.

What usually causes F2E2

Likely cause	What you may notice	What to do next
Stuck or shorted keypad	Beeping, random selections, code returns fast	Dry panel, check for stuck keys; replace UI if needed
Loose wiring connection	Intermittent code, works sometimes	Reseat console and control connectors
Failed user interface	Buttons do nothing or act wrong	Replace the user interface assembly
Main control issue	UI seems normal but won’t respond correctly	Inspect control board connections; replace control if confirmed

Repair guidance for model 58716253402

1. Shut off power at the breaker.
2. Open the door and remove the inner door panel screws to access the console.
3. Inspect the ribbon/plug connections for corrosion, looseness, or pin damage; reseat firmly.
4. If the keypad is physically damaged or the code returns right away after reset, replacement is the reliable fix.

If the dishwasher also has filling or overflow symptoms while you troubleshoot, check the float and float switch; a stuck float can create confusing behavior during diagnostics. The switch 154773201 is the float switch used on this model.

Why it matters

F2E2 can prevent cycle selection and can stop a wash mid-cycle. Fixing the keypad or user interface issue restores normal operation and helps avoid repeated resets and incomplete cleaning.

On a Kenmore dishwasher model 58716253402, an E25 code points to a drain problem, most often a blocked drain pump area or an issue with the pump cover/filter area that prevents proper draining.

What to check first (fast, no parts)

• Cancel the cycle and let the unit stop completely.
• Remove standing water (cup or wet/dry vac) so you can inspect the sump area.
• Check the bottom of the tub for debris near the filter and pump inlet (glass, labels, food).
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks or a clog, especially where it connects to the sink drain or disposer.
• If your dishwasher connects to a garbage disposer, confirm the disposer inlet plug was removed.

Step-by-step drain troubleshooting

Use the steps and diagrams in the 58716253402 owner's manual to locate the filter/sump area and access points.

1. Clean the filter/sump area: Clear any debris that could jam the impeller.
2. Verify the drain path: Make sure the hose runs upward in a high loop and is not pinched.
3. Check for a slow drain pump: If you hear humming but little or no draining, the pump may be obstructed or failing.
4. Run a short cycle: Confirm the dishwasher fills, washes, then drains without backing up.

Parts that commonly solve an E25 drain issue

If cleaning and hose checks do not restore draining, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

Symptom	Most likely area	Model-matched part to consider
Hums but won’t drain	Drain pump	Pump 154580301
Drains slowly or backs up	Drain hose restriction	Hose 807117001

Why it matters

A dishwasher that cannot drain can leave dirty water in the tub, reduce cleaning performance, and can trigger repeated error codes. Restoring normal drain flow protects the wash system and helps cycles finish correctly.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is usually worth it when the fix is a common wear item or a leak on model 58716253402, especially if the repair cost stays well below the price of a comparable new dishwasher. Bigger repairs can still make sense if the tub and racks are in good shape.

Quick way we decide: repair vs replace

We use these practical checkpoints:

• Repair when the problem is a seal, hose, valve, or minor electrical switch.
• Repair when the dishwasher cleans well but has a leak, won’t drain, or won’t fill.
• Replace when multiple major systems are failing (wash motor plus control plus leaks).
• Replace when the interior is badly rusted, the racks are collapsing, or the tub is damaged.
• Repair when you can do the work yourself and only need parts.

For model-specific operating and care guidance that prevents repeat failures, use the 58716253402 owner's manual.

Typical repair costs: what’s “minor” vs “major”

These parts are commonly replaced on 58716253402 and often restore reliable operation:

Symptom	Likely fix	Example part for this model
Water leaking at the door	Replace door seal	Dishwasher door seal 809006501
Not drying, water stays cool	Replace heater	Heater 154825001
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Replace inlet valve	Valve 154637401
Won’t drain	Check drain path; replace drain hose or pump if needed	Hose 807117001 or pump 154580301

Why it matters

A dishwasher repair is most cost-effective when it restores core functions (fill, wash, heat, drain) with one targeted part. This Kenmore design uses a filtered wash system and includes a heating element; when those systems are working correctly, cleaning performance and cycle results improve noticeably.

Before you spend money: 5 checks that prevent unnecessary parts

• Confirm the circuit breaker is on and the dishwasher has power.
• Make sure the water supply valve under the sink is fully open.
• If it drains into a disposer, ensure the disposer is empty and the inlet is clear.
• Check that the overfill protector/float moves freely (buildup can stop filling).
• Review loading and detergent guidance to avoid poor cleaning that looks like a “broken” dishwasher.

For installation-related issues (drain routing, air gap, anchoring, supply line), follow the 58716253402 installation guide.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore 58716253402 dishwasher include not starting, poor cleaning, leaks, and drying issues. Many of these trace back to loading and detergent use, water supply conditions (pressure and temperature), or a worn seal, switch, or pump-related part; check the 58716253402 owner's manual for model-specific operating and care steps.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Won’t start or stops mid-cycle: door not fully latched, latch/switch issue, or control problem
• Food left on dishes: blocked spray arm rotation, clogged filter area, nesting/overloading, low water pressure
• Not drying well: cycle selection, rinse aid use, or heater/heating circuit issue
• Leaks or water on the floor: too much/incorrect detergent causing suds, spilled rinse aid, unit not level, worn door seal
• Water left in the tub: partial drain restriction or normal residual water after a cycle

Quick checks we recommend first (no tools)

• Confirm the door closes firmly and the latch engages; inspect the strike area for misalignment.
• Use fresh automatic dishwasher detergent; measure carefully to prevent foaming and overflow.
• Wipe up any rinse aid spills immediately (spills can create foam and lead to overflow).
• Verify hot water supply to the dishwasher is about 120°F and home water pressure is 20 to 120 psi.
• Load so nothing blocks the spray arms; avoid nesting bowls and pans.

Parts that commonly fix these issues on this model

If basic checks do not solve it, these model-matched parts are frequent fixes:

Symptom	Common part to inspect/replace	What it affects
Leaking at the door	Dishwasher door seal 809006501	Seals the tub to the door to prevent drips/overflow
Poor drying or cool water	Heater 154825001	Heats water and supports drying performance
Not filling or fills slowly	Valve 154637401	Controls incoming water to the dishwasher
Not draining	Pump 154580301 or hose 807117001	Pushes water out; carries water to the drain

Why it matters

Most “dishwasher problems” are really wash-system conditions: correct water temperature, adequate pressure, proper loading, and the right detergent let the filter and spray arms do their job. When those basics are right, replacing a worn seal, valve, heater, or pump part becomes a targeted repair instead of guesswork.

For cycle behavior, normal sounds, and troubleshooting steps, we follow the guidance in the 58716253402 owner's manual.
