Kenmore 58715189401 dishwasher Parts

Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is on the model and serial label inside the tub; for Kenmore model 58715189401, the manual notes the label is on the right side of the tub. Open the door and look along the inner tub wall near the front edge.

Where to look first (fastest)

• Open the dishwasher door fully.
• Check the right interior tub wall for the model/serial label.
• Look near the front opening of the tub (not the outer door panel).
• Wipe the area with a damp cloth; labels can be hidden by film or residue.
• Use a flashlight and view from an angle; printing can be faint.

If you do not see the label inside the tub

On many Kenmore dishwashers, the label is still inside the door opening, but it can be obscured or relocated depending on the production run.

• Check the top edge of the inner door.
• Check the left side of the tub opening.
• Look for a silver sticker or metal plate with “Model” and “Serial”.
• If the unit was recently installed, confirm it is not covered by insulation or sound-deadening material.

For this Kenmore platform, model numbers commonly start with 587. and then continue with more digits.

The Kenmore dishwasher model 58715189401 is a standard built-in size; it fits a cabinet opening that is at least 33-3/4 inches high with the leveling feet adjusted as needed. For the exact cutout and leveling details, use the 58715189401 installation guide.

What “size” means for installation

Dishwasher sizing is usually about the cabinet opening and how the unit is leveled and secured, not just the outside shell.

Key fit points we use for model 58715189401:

• Minimum opening height called out in the install instructions: 33-3/4 inches (84.5 cm)
• Height can be fine-tuned by adjusting the front and rear levelers
• The dishwasher must be level side-to-side and front-to-back for proper door sealing and draining
• Built-up floors can change the effective opening height
• Countertop mounting brackets may need to be removed in tight-height installs (per install instructions)

Quick sizing checklist before you buy parts or reinstall

Use this list to confirm the dishwasher will sit correctly and avoid leaks or rubbing.

• Measure opening height from the underside of the countertop to the finished floor
• Confirm you have 33-3/4 inches or more of height available
• Check the unit is centered in the opening
• Level the tub side-to-side (level across the top front of the tub)
• Level front-to-back (level on the side of the opened door)
• Adjust levelers until the door closes smoothly and the tub is square in the opening

Typical built-in dishwasher width and depth (helpful reference)

Most Kenmore built-in dishwashers are designed for a 24-inch-wide cabinet opening, with an overall depth that typically lands in the 24 to 26 inch range depending on the door and handle style. Use the 58715189401 owner’s manual for model-specific feature and configuration details.

Measurement	What to measure	What we use for 58715189401
Opening height	Countertop underside to finished floor	33-3/4 inches minimum
Width (typical)	Cabinet opening side-to-side	Usually 24 inches
Depth (typical)	Back wall to cabinet front plane	Usually 24 to 26 inches

Why it matters

Correct sizing and leveling helps the door seal evenly, prevents tub-to-cabinet rubbing, and supports proper draining. If the dishwasher sits too low or out of level, you can end up with nuisance leaks at the door or poor wash performance.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715189401 is usually worth it when the problem is a leak, drain issue, or door problem and the repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. It’s especially cost-effective when you can replace a wear part and keep the tub and wash system in service.

Quick way we decide: repair vs replace

Use these checkpoints before buying parts or scheduling service:

• Age: Under ~10 years old typically favors repair; over ~10 years depends on condition and total repair cost.
• Repair cost: If the repair is under about 50% of replacement cost, repair is the better value.
• Problem type: Leaks, poor draining, and door sealing issues are often straightforward; major electrical failures can be more expensive.
• Tub condition: If the tub and inner door panel are in good shape, repairs make more sense (your manual describes long leak coverage for the tub/inner door panel). See the 58715189401 owner's manual.
• Performance: If cleaning is still good (spray arms, filter, heating element working), keeping the unit is practical.

Common “worth it” repairs on this model

These are frequent fixes that can stop leaks or restore normal operation without replacing the dishwasher:

• Replace a worn lower door seal: dishwasher door seal, lower 809006501
• Fix a drain problem by replacing a damaged drain hose: hose 807117001
• Address fill issues with the water inlet valve: valve 154637401
• Restore drying and water heating with the heater circuit (element and hardware)
• Stop seepage at the sump area by replacing the sump gasket or pump O-rings

Cost and complexity snapshot

Repair type	Typical DIY difficulty	Typical value outcome
Door seal or minor leak	Low	High (cheap part, big improvement)
Drain hose / drain pump issue	Medium	High (prevents standing water)
Water inlet valve	Medium	High (restores filling)
Control or wiring issues	Medium to high	Mixed (can get expensive fast)

Why it matters

A dishwasher is a sealed, recirculating wash system; when the door seal, drain path, or fill valve fails, the machine can look “done” even though it only needs a targeted part. Keeping the 58715189401 running can be the most cost-effective option when the tub and core wash system are still solid.
