Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58714439200. The key is matching the exact model number and then ordering by the correct part number and description, which the manual recommends when requesting parts.
How to make sure you order the right part
Use the model number from the serial plate (typically on the tub wall just inside the door), then confirm the part by name and number in the 58714439200 owner's manual.
- Match the full model number: 58714439200
- Identify the failed symptom (won’t drain, won’t fill, door won’t latch, leaks)
- Confirm the part name and part number before ordering
- Replace related small hardware when needed (clamps, screws, nuts)
- Keep your old part until the repair is complete for side-by-side comparison

How to install lower spray arm Kenmore dishwasher?
On Kenmore dishwasher model 58714439200, the lower spray arm installs onto the center wash tower hub and is secured with the spray arm locknut. After reinstalling, the spray arm must rotate freely so water can spray correctly during the wash cycle (see the 58714439200 owner's manual).
Steps to install (or reinstall) the lower spray arm
- Turn off power to the dishwasher at the breaker.
- Pull out the bottom rack for access.
- If removed, reinstall the center wash tower base first (it threads on and tightens by turning clockwise after seating).
- Set the lower spray arm onto its mounting hub.
- Install the locknut and tighten it securely (snug, not forced).
- Spin the spray arm by hand; it should rotate freely without rubbing.
Quick checks after installation
If the arm does not spin freely, cleaning and re-seating usually fixes it.
- Make sure no utensils or pan handles hang through the bottom rack and block rotation.
- Confirm the center area of the lower rack is not blocked (the wash tower extends through this area).
- Clean out spray arm holes if you see debris.
- Check the pump opening area for objects (bones, fruit pits) that can interfere with flow.
Common symptoms and what they point to
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Arm feels tight or won’t spin | Locknut cross-threaded or overtightened | Remove, re-seat, tighten snug, recheck spin |
| Poor cleaning on bottom rack | Spray arm holes clogged | Remove arm, clean holes, reinstall |
| Dishes come out gritty | Debris in pump opening | Clean in and around pump openings |
| Arm hits dishes | Loading issue | Re-load; keep handles from protruding |
Why it matters
The 58714439200 cleans by pumping water through the rotating spray arm and center wash tower. If the lower spray arm is loose, clogged, or blocked, you will get poor wash performance and leftover soil.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
For a Kenmore dishwasher model 58714439200, repairing is worth it when the problem is a common wear item (leak, won’t drain, won’t fill, door won’t latch) and the fix is a part-level repair. Replacement makes more sense when multiple major systems are failing at once.
Quick decision checklist
- If the dishwasher is under ~10 years old, repairs usually make sense.
- If the issue is one clear symptom (leak, no drain, no fill), repair is usually cost-effective.
- If you see repeated leaks, check seals and hoses first.
- If the unit has electrical/control problems plus mechanical problems, replacement is often the better value.
- If you can DIY safely (power off), you save the most on labor.
Common repairs that are usually “worth it”
These are typical, targeted fixes for this model family:
- Won’t drain or drains slowly: inspect/replace the hose 807117001.
- Won’t fill or fills inconsistently: test/replace the water valve 154637401.
- Overfills or won’t stop filling: check the float and replace the switch 154773201 if needed.
- Door won’t close or pops open: inspect the latch area and strike alignment.
Cost and complexity guide
| Problem | Typical cause | DIY difficulty | Repair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not draining | Drain hose clog/kink | Easy | High |
| Not filling | Water inlet valve | Medium | High |
| Overfilling | Float switch | Medium | High |
| Door won’t latch | Latch/strike alignment or wear | Medium | Medium to high |
Why it matters
A dishwasher that doesn’t fill, drain, or latch correctly can leave standing water (a small amount is normal for the seal), reduce cleaning performance, and increase the chance of leaks. Fixing the specific failed part restores normal wash action without replacing the whole appliance.
What we recommend before you decide
- Confirm the model number on the serial plate just inside the door.
- Review troubleshooting and safety steps in the 58714439200 owner’s manual.
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing; avoid touching the heating element during or right after use.
