Kenmore 58714012400 dishwasher Parts

In a Kenmore 58714012400 dishwasher, the most commonly replaced parts are the ones tied to leaks, filling/draining, heating, and wash performance: door seals and gaskets, spray arms, inlet and drain pumps, heating parts, and door-latch components. Use the owner's manual to match symptoms to the right part.

Commonly replaced parts (and what they fix)

• Door seals and gaskets: stop water leaks at the door or tub edge
• Spray arms: restore spray coverage when dishes come out dirty
• Water inlet valve: fixes slow fill or no fill issues
• Drain pump: fixes standing water at the end of the cycle
• Heating element and thermostat: improves drying and helps maintain proper wash temperature
• Door latch parts: fixes a dishwasher that will not start because the door will not latch

Model-specific examples available for Kenmore 58714012400

Symptom	Common part to check	Example part on this model
Leaking at bottom of door	Lower door seal	Gasket 809006501
Poor cleaning, spray seems weak	Spray arm	Dishwasher spray arm 5304518927
No fill or slow fill	Water inlet valve	Valve 154637401
Won’t drain, water left in tub	Drain pump	Dishwasher drain pump A00126501
Not drying, water not heating	Heating circuit	Heater 154665201 and dishwasher thermostat 154290204

Quick checks before replacing parts

• Confirm the water supply is on and the supply line is not kinked.
• If filling is weak, clean the inlet valve screen; the installation instructions describe removing screws at the inlet end of the valve to clean the filter screen.
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray arm from rotating.
• Verify home water pressure is typically 20 to 120 psi and incoming water is at least 120°F (49°C).
• If draining is poor, check for a kinked drain hose and a clear sink/disposer connection.

Why it matters

Replacing the correct part first saves time and prevents repeat leaks, poor wash results, and overheating or no-heat conditions. It also helps you avoid replacing higher-cost items (like a motor or control panel) when the root cause is a seal, valve, or clogged spray component.

To reset a Kenmore 58714012400 dishwasher, we restore the control to a known starting point by turning the cycle dial to OFF (or a clear stop position), then selecting a fresh cycle and closing the door to latch. This clears most “stuck” cycle or control conditions.

Quick reset steps (dial-control models)

• Turn the cycle dial clockwise until it points to OFF (or the end of a cycle).
• Wait 30 seconds.
• Turn the dial to NORMAL WASH (or your preferred cycle).
• Run the hot water at the nearest sink until it is hot, then turn it off.
• Close the door firmly until it latches to start.

For the exact cycle positions and options on your unit, follow the cycle chart in the owner's manual.

If the dishwasher still will not respond

These checks fix the most common “won’t start” or “buttons not working” complaints on this model style:

• Confirm the door is fully closed and latched (a weak latch can prevent starting).
• Make sure the dial is not between detents; align it exactly on a cycle.
• Check the house breaker or fuse; reset the breaker once if it tripped.
• If the tub is overfilled or the unit acts like it is flooding, inspect the float area; a stuck float can keep the fill system off.
• If you see leaking at the bottom of the door, replace the lower door seal; a leak can lead to safety shutoff behavior on some installations.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we do next
Dial turns but nothing happens	No power or door not latched	Check breaker, then latch alignment
Starts then stops quickly	Dial not set cleanly on a cycle	Re-seat dial on NORMAL WASH
Overfilling or no fill	Float/float switch issue	Inspect float; consider switch 154773201
Water leaking at door bottom	Worn lower seal	Replace gasket 809006501

Why it matters

A proper reset gets the dishwasher back to the normal “Getting Started” sequence (load, add detergent, select cycle, latch door). It also helps you avoid repeated partial fills, poor cleaning, and unnecessary strain on the motor and heater.

To drain your Kenmore 58714012400 dishwasher, we shut off power, then drain water by disconnecting the drain line from the drain pump and letting it empty into a pan. If it is not draining during normal use, we focus on the drain hose routing and connections first. See the owner's manual for the drain and winterizing steps.

Quick drain steps (safe method)

• Turn off power at the breaker (electric shock hazard).
• Shut off the water supply.
• Place a shallow pan and towels under the dishwasher.
• Disconnect the drain line from the drain pump and drain water into the pan.
• Reconnect the drain line securely before restoring power.

If the dishwasher will not drain during a cycle

Most “won’t drain” problems on this model come from a restricted drain path, a kinked hose, or a poor drain hose setup.

Check these common causes

• Drain hose kinked, crushed, or routed with sharp bends
• Drain hose not properly attached to the drain pump assembly
• Drain hose loop not high enough (the loop should be at least 32 inches above the floor)
• Hose connected incorrectly (avoid connecting to a horizontal pipe between the sink drain and disposer)
• Clog at the sink/disposer connection or an external air gap (if your setup uses one)

Drain setup checklist (what “correct” looks like)

Item to verify	What we look for	Why it matters
Hose routing	No kinks or sharp bends	Prevents restricted drain flow
High loop	At least 32 inches above floor	Helps prevent backflow
Hose position	Dishwasher does not rest on hose	Avoids pinching and leaks
Connection point	Secured with a clamp	Prevents leaks and blow-offs

Parts that commonly relate to draining issues

If the hose and sink connection are clear but draining is still weak, a failing drain pump is a common next suspect.

• Dishwasher drain pump A00126501

Why it matters

A restricted drain can leave dirty water in the tub, cause odors, and reduce wash performance. Correct hose routing and a proper high loop are the fastest fixes because they address the most common installation-related drain problems.
