Where to find model number on a Kenmore dishwasher?
On Kenmore dishwasher model 58714183402, the model number is printed on the rating label located just inside the door opening, typically along the left side of the tub frame. Open the door fully and look for a sticker or metal tag with both the model and serial numbers.
- Open the dishwasher door and stand in front of the unit
- Check the left inner edge of the tub opening first
- Also scan the top edge of the tub opening (near the underside of the counter)
- Look for a label that includes Model and Serial
- Wipe the area with a damp cloth if the print is hard to read
Most Kenmore dishwashers use a white or silver rating label. It usually includes:
- Model number (example format: 587.14183402 or 58714183402)
- Serial number
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
- Certification markings
| What you need | Why you need it | Where it’s used |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures parts fit your exact dishwasher | Parts lookup, diagrams, compatibility |
| Serial number | Identifies production run details | Service, warranty, tech support |
Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple series, but parts like a door seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time.
If you are also planning an install or reinstall, follow the clearances and connection guidance in the 58714183402 installation guide.

Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58714183402. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so items like the door seal, drain hose, water inlet valve, and drain pump fit and seal correctly.
- Use the full model number 58714183402 from the rating label (typically on the tub frame near the door).
- Match the symptom to the system: leaks (seals/hoses), no fill (inlet valve), no drain (drain pump/hose).
- Compare your original part’s markings to the listing (part name and ID).
- If you are installing or reconnecting utilities, follow the grounding and connection requirements in the 58714183402 installation guide.
- Replace clamps or seals when you disturb a hose connection to prevent repeat leaks.
| Problem you see | Part that often fixes it | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the bottom of the door | Door seal | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Dishwasher will not drain or drains slowly | Drain hose or drain pump | Hose 807117001, dishwasher drain pump A00126501 |
| Dishwasher not filling with water | Water inlet valve | Valve 154637401 |
Dishwasher parts are not “one size fits all”. Using the correct Kenmore 58714183402 parts helps prevent leaks, poor washing, and installation issues like kinked hoses or improper electrical connections.
- Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing.
- Turn off the water supply and check for leaks after reassembly.
- Avoid kinking the drain hose; kinks can cause draining problems.
- If connecting to a disposer for the first time, make sure the disposer inlet plug is knocked out.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58714183402 is usually worth it when the problem is a leak, a door issue, or a drain problem and the repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. It becomes less worthwhile when multiple major components are failing at the same time.
We use three practical checks before spending money on parts or labor:
- Age: Dishwashers typically last 10 years.
- Repair cost: If the total repair is under 50% of replacement cost, repair is usually the better value.
- Failure type: Seals, hoses, and latches are usually good repair candidates; motors and major electrical issues can push you toward replacement.
| What’s wrong | Typical “worth repairing” rating | Common parts involved on 58714183402 |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the door | High | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Not draining or draining slowly | High to medium | Hose 807117001, dishwasher drain pump A00126501 |
| Won’t fill or fills poorly | Medium | Valve 154637401 |
| Door won’t latch or pops open | Medium | Latch assembly A00099902, strike 154662601 |
These steps often identify a simple fix before you commit to a bigger repair:
- Confirm the dishwasher is level and securely fastened (an unlevel unit can cause door leaks and poor draining).
- Inspect for kinks in the drain hose and water line.
- Check for leaks at joints after turning the water supply on.
- If filling is weak, check the inlet valve filter screen (turn water off first).
- If the door feels “heavy” or won’t stay in position, check door spring balance and hinge condition.
For model-specific installation and safety steps (including electrical grounding and leak checks), follow the installation guide.
A targeted repair keeps your 58714183402 running reliably and avoids repeat problems. For example, fixing a door leak with the correct seal prevents water damage, and correcting a drain restriction prevents standing water and odor.

What does F2E2 mean on a Kenmore dishwasher?
On Kenmore dishwashers, the F2E2 error code means the control isn’t getting the right keypad (user interface) input; it’s commonly tied to a stuck key, a wet or damaged console, or a wiring connection issue between the user interface and the main control.
- Press Cancel/Drain (or Cancel) once, then wait about 1 minute.
- Power reset: turn the dishwasher off at the breaker for 2 minutes, then restore power.
- Check the console for moisture; dry it and avoid spraying cleaner directly on the controls.
- Make sure the door closes firmly and latches; a partially latched door can cause odd keypad behavior.
- If the code returns immediately, stop using the keypad and move to the inspection steps below.
Use the wiring and access guidance in the 58714183402 installation guide.
- Kill power at the breaker before removing the kickplate or opening any electrical covers.
- Inspect the junction box area and wiring for loose connections or corrosion.
- Check the console ribbon/connector (if accessible) for a loose fit or contamination.
- Look for signs of a stuck key (button feels jammed, doesn’t click, or stays depressed).
If you have water at the bottom edge of the door or on the floor, fix the leak first; moisture can trigger keypad faults.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Code appears after cleaning | Moisture in console | Dry console; avoid overspray |
| Code appears randomly | Loose connection | UI connector and harness seating |
| Code appears immediately on power-up | Stuck key or failed UI | Keypad feel; console condition |
| Code appears with door leak | Door seal leak | Inspect dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
F2E2 can prevent cycle selection or cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle. Addressing moisture, door sealing, and wiring connections early helps prevent repeat faults and protects the electronic controls.

How to remove lower spray arm Kenmore Elite dishwasher?
On the Kenmore 58714183402 dishwasher, the lower spray arm typically lifts off or unthreads from the spray arm support after you remove the lower rack. Once it is off, rinse the arm and clear any debris from the spray holes before reinstalling.
- Turn off power at the breaker (recommended anytime your hands are inside the tub).
- Pull the lower rack straight out and lift it off the track stops.
- Grab the lower spray arm at the center hub.
- Try lifting straight up first; if it does not release, rotate the center hub counterclockwise to unthread it.
- Lift the spray arm off and inspect the hub area for broken plastic or grit.
- Reinstall by seating the arm flat, then tighten the hub clockwise (snug, not forced).
| What to check | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Spray holes clogged | Poor wash, gritty residue | Rinse under hot water; use a toothpick to clear holes |
| Arm cracks/warping | Leaks, weak spray | Replace the spray arm if damaged |
| Food in sump area | Drain issues, redeposit | Clean the sump area and filters (if equipped) |
A loose or mis-seated spray arm can contribute to splashing and poor cleaning, but leaks at the door are more often caused by a worn seal. If you see water at the bottom front of the door, inspect the dishwasher door seal 809006501 for tears, flattening, or gaps.
The lower spray arm is the main wash action for the bottom rack. Keeping it clear and properly seated helps maintain water pressure, improves cleaning, and reduces noise from the arm striking dishes.
For installation-related access (kickplate removal, leveling, anchoring), follow the installation guide.
