What size is a Kenmore dishwasher 58714683201B?
For the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 58714683201B, plan on a standard built-in opening that is at least 24 inches deep, 17-5/8 to 18 inches wide, and up to 32.5 inches high (underside of countertop to floor). These are the key “fit” dimensions used for installation. See the 58714683201B installation guide for the enclosure diagram and clearances.
Installation opening and clearance basics
Use these common fit checks before you order parts or schedule installation:
- Cabinet opening depth: 24 inches minimum
- Cabinet opening width: 17-5/8 to 18 inches
- Opening height: 32.5 inches maximum
- Corner installs: allow 2 inches minimum clearance to adjacent cabinet or wall
- Door swing space: allow 25-5/8 inches minimum in front for the door to open
- Drain hose routing: keep total drain hose length 10 feet or less for proper drainage
Quick reference table
| What you are measuring | Target for 58714683201B | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Opening depth | 24 in. min. | Ensures the tub and plumbing fit without kinks |
| Opening width | 17-5/8 to 18 in. | Confirms this is an 18-in. class opening |
| Opening height | 32.5 in. max. | Allows leveling legs and toe-kick to fit |
| Front clearance | 25-5/8 in. min. | Prevents the door from hitting nearby obstacles |
Why it matters
Dishwasher “size” can mean the appliance’s exterior dimensions or the cabinet opening it needs. For model 58714683201B, the installation guide’s enclosure specs are the most important because they determine whether the dishwasher fits your cabinetry and whether the door can open fully.

How to hard reset a Kenmore dishwasher?
To hard reset your Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 58714683201B, we recommend doing a control reset (power cycle) first: turn the dishwasher off, cut power at the breaker for about 5 minutes, then restore power and start a Normal cycle. For model-specific button sequences, follow the 58714683201B owner's manual.
Quick reset options (start with the safest)
- Breaker reset: Switch the dishwasher circuit breaker OFF for 5 minutes, then ON.
- Unplug reset (if cord-connected): Unplug for 5 minutes, then plug back in.
- Cancel/Drain reset: Press Cancel/Drain (or Cancel) once, close the door, and let it pump out.
- Control lock check: If the controls seem unresponsive, turn off Control Lock (if enabled).
- Door reset: Open the door, wait 10 seconds, close firmly, then try starting a cycle.
If it still will not reset or start
A “reset” often fails because the dishwasher is not sensing a safe start condition (door not latched, no water fill, or a drain issue). These checks match common install and operation problems:
- Confirm the door closes fully and latches; a worn latch can prevent any cycle from starting (see dishwasher door latch 5304535183).
- Make sure the water supply valve under the sink is ON.
- If the unit fills slowly or not at all, the inlet valve can be the cause (see dishwasher water inlet valve 5304482406).
- Check the drain hose for kinks and confirm the disposer inlet plug was removed (new installs).
- If the dishwasher is rubbing the cabinet, repositioning can help the door seal and latch correctly (see the 58714683201B installation guide).
What you should see after a successful reset
| What happens | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Lights return to normal, cycle starts | Control reset worked |
| It drains for a few minutes | Cancel/Drain is working |
| No response at all | Power, door latch, or control lock issue |
Why it matters
A proper reset clears a stuck cycle and restores normal control operation, but it will not fix a mechanical problem like a door that will not latch or a water supply issue. Checking those basics prevents repeat shutdowns and no-start symptoms.

What are the common problems with Kenmore dishwashers?
Common problems on the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 58714683201B include not starting, not draining, poor cleaning, leaks, and drying issues. Most of these trace back to a door not latching, restricted water flow, clogged drain paths, or a dishwasher that is not level; see the 58714683201B owner's manual for model-specific operating checks.
Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
- Won’t start or stops mid-cycle: door not fully latched, control lock enabled, power interruption
- Won’t drain: blocked filter area, kinked drain hose, failing drain pump
- Poor cleaning: clogged spray arms, low water fill, overloaded racks, wrong detergent
- Leaks: door gasket wear, loose hose connections, tub not level
- Poor drying: rinse aid empty, heater or temperature sensing issue, door opened too soon
Quick checks you can do first (no tools)
- Confirm the door closes firmly and the latch engages.
- Run hot water at the sink for 30 to 60 seconds before starting a cycle.
- Check that the dishwasher is level; being out of level can affect rack operation and wash performance.
- Look under the sink for a kinked drain hose or a blocked garbage disposer inlet.
- Clean the filter area and remove any debris from the sump.
Parts that commonly fix these problems on 58714683201B
| Symptom | Common part to check | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t start | Dishwasher door latch 5304535183 | Door switch signal to the control |
| Not filling or fills slowly | Dishwasher water inlet valve 5304482406 | Water entering the tub |
| Won’t drain | Dishwasher drain pump 5304483444 | Pumping water out |
| Leaks at the door | Gasket 5304512895 | Door seal against the tub |
Why it matters
A dishwasher that is not draining, not filling correctly, or not level can lead to repeat error conditions, poor wash results, and water on the floor. Installation details like leveling and hose routing are also key; the 58714683201B installation guide covers these basics.

What is the service code f4e1 on a Kenmore Elite dishwasher?
On Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 58714683201B, code F4E1 is a control fault that points to a problem the dishwasher detected during operation. Use the troubleshooting and diagnostic steps in the 58714683201B installation guide to verify installation basics first, then focus on the fill, wash, and drain systems.
What to check first (fast, no parts)
- Reset power: turn the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on
- Start a cycle and listen: fill sound, then wash motor sound, then drain sound
- Confirm the hot water supply is on and the shut-off valve under the sink is fully open
- Make sure the drain hose is routed correctly and not kinked or crushed
- Clean the filter area and remove any debris that can restrict water flow
Installation items that commonly trigger faults
The installation guide for this model calls out several requirements that affect performance and can lead to repeated errors:
| Installation requirement | What “wrong” looks like | What to correct |
|---|---|---|
| Drain hose length | Excessively long run | Keep the drain hose run within the guide’s limit |
| Cabinet opening | Too tight or mis-sized | Use the specified opening width/height/depth |
| Leveling | Racks roll or door alignment is off | Level the unit using the leveling legs |
| Water supply | Low pressure or cold water | Use proper pressure and hot water supply |
Parts to consider when symptoms match
If the code returns after the checks above, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved in fill or drain related problems:
- Dishwasher water inlet valve 5304482406 if the tub is not filling normally
- Dishwasher drain pump 5304483444 if the unit will not drain or stops with water left inside
- Dishwasher door latch 5304535183 if the dishwasher will not start or stops when the door is bumped
Why it matters
Error codes repeat when the control keeps seeing the same condition (no fill, poor drain, door not sensed closed, or installation-related restrictions). Correcting the underlying cause prevents mid-cycle stops and protects wash performance.
