Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still supply replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58716142403, as long as the specific part is available. The key is matching the exact model number so you get the correct fit for items like door seals, drain hoses, inlet valves, and racks.
Use the model number 58716142403 and confirm the part name and ID before ordering.
- Match the full model number from the rating label, not just “Kenmore dishwasher”
- Compare the part description to your symptom (leak, no drain, won’t fill, rack issues)
- Check whether you need a seal, hose, valve, or latch related part
- Use diagrams and part lists to avoid ordering a similar-looking part
- Follow any installation notes and safety steps in the 58716142403 installation guide
Here are examples of parts currently listed for this model (availability can vary over time):
| Repair need | Example part for this model | What it helps fix |

If your dishwasher is showing a fault or flashing pattern, use Kenmore he dishwasher error codes to narrow the problem to a fill, drain, heating, or control issue before you buy parts.

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label, typically visible when you open the door and look around the door frame or tub opening. For this parts page, the model is 58716142403; match your label to confirm.
Check these common label locations first (in order):
- Along the inner door frame (left or right side)
- On the top edge of the door opening
- On the tub wall just inside the door
- Behind the lower kickplate area (less common, but possible)
- On paperwork that came with the unit, such as the 58716142403 owner's manual
Many Kenmore dishwashers use a number format that starts with 587. (the manual for this series shows Model Number: 587. followed by additional digits). Your full model will look like a longer number, such as 58716142403.
| What you see on the label | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| 587.XXXXXXX (with a dot) | Series prefix used on many Kenmore dishwashers | Write down all digits after 587. |
| 58716142403 (no dot) | Full model number format used for parts lookup | Use it to match parts exactly |
| Serial number | Production identifier | Keep it for service records |
We use the exact model number to ensure parts fit and function correctly because Kenmore dishwashers can use different drain hoses, door seals, heaters, and switches even within the same series.
If you are ordering parts after confirming the model, common model-matched examples include the dishwasher door seal 809006501 and the dishwasher drain pump A00126501.
- Copy the model number exactly as printed (include any digits after 587.)
- Take a clear photo of the label before ordering
- Use the model number, not the door style or color, to choose parts
- If the label is worn, compare your control panel layout to the 58716142403 installation guide diagrams for connection locations

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58716142403 is usually worth it when the problem is a leak, a drain issue, or a wear item, and the repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. If the repair involves major drive or electrical components, replacement can make more sense.
We use this simple rule of thumb for dishwashers:
- Repair when the fix is a seal, hose, valve, latch, or cleaning related issue.
- Repair when the dishwasher is under 10 years old and the repair is straightforward.
- Replace when multiple major parts are failing or the tub is damaged.
- Replace when the repair cost is 50% or more of a comparable new dishwasher.
- Repair first if symptoms point to maintenance or loading issues (not a failed part).
For model-specific operating and care guidance, check the 58716142403 owner's manual.
These are frequent, practical fixes on Kenmore dishwashers that typically restore performance quickly:
- Fixing door leaks by replacing the dishwasher door seal 809006501
- Replacing a cracked or leaking drain line such as the hose 807117001
- Solving fill problems by replacing the valve 154637401 (water inlet valve)
- Addressing “won’t drain” symptoms by checking the drain path and, if needed, replacing the drain pump
- Improving drying and wash results by correcting water temperature, detergent freshness, and loading
| Repair type | Typical difficulty | Typical “worth it” scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Door seal or hose leak | Low | Unit otherwise runs normally |
| Water inlet valve | Medium | No/low fill, poor wash, no other issues |
| Drain pump | Medium | Hums but won’t drain, drain path is clear |
| Motor assembly or multiple leaks | High | Usually only if the unit is newer and in great shape |
A lot of “bad dishwasher” complaints are actually performance conditions you can correct: the manual calls out incoming water temperature of at least 120°F and home water pressure of 20 to 120 psi as key factors for cleaning results. Getting those right can prevent unnecessary part replacement and extend the life of your 58716142403.
