Kenmore 58716253402 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58716253402. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so items like the door seal, water inlet valve, heater, and drain hose fit and seal correctly.

Use the model number from the serial label (typically on the right side of the tub) and confirm the part by name and ID.

• Match the full model number: 58716253402
• Identify the symptom (leak, no heat, not draining, door won’t latch)
• Compare the part name and part ID, not just a photo
• Check whether you need related hardware (clamps, nuts, gaskets)
• Verify installation steps in the 58716253402 owner's manual

Here are a few frequently needed parts for Kenmore 58716253402:

Dishwashers rely on correct sealing, water flow, and heating to clean properly. Using the exact model-matched part helps prevent leaks, fill errors, and repeat repairs, and it keeps performance consistent with the original Kenmore design.

If you are installing or reinstalling the dishwasher, follow the installation guide for key items like proper leveling, hot water supply connection, and avoiding kinked hoses.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

• 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

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

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

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.
