Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still supply replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58717245990, as long as the specific part is available. The key is matching the exact model number to the correct OEM part so fit, wiring, and water connections are right.
How to make sure you order the right part
Use your model number (58717245990) and confirm the part name and identifiers before you buy.
- Match the full model number from the rating label, not just “Kenmore dishwasher”
- Compare the part name to the symptom (fill, drain, heat, latch, rack movement)
- Check for common wear items first (inlet valve, float switch, door latch parts)
- Use the diagrams and part lists in the 58717245990 owner's manual
- If you see an error or flashing lights, use a Kenmore dishwasher error code chart to narrow the failure
Common parts customers replace on 58717245990
These are examples of parts we commonly see replaced for filling, overfilling protection, and door closing issues:
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|

| Overfills or won’t fill (float stuck) | Float and float switch | Dishwasher float switch 154225501 |
| Door won’t latch or won’t start | Door latch alignment | Door strike 154662601 |
Why it matters
Dishwasher parts are model-specific. Using the correct Kenmore 58717245990 part helps prevent leaks, no-fill problems, and door-latch issues that can stop a cycle from starting.
If you are troubleshooting a fill problem, our manual also explains that the float should move up and down freely and that cleaning around it helps prevent sticking.

How do I tell which Kenmore dishwasher I have?
To identify your Kenmore dishwasher, open the door and look for the rating label on the inside edge of the tub (commonly along the left side). That label lists the model number and serial number; match the model number to 58717245990 when ordering parts or using the 58717245990 owner's manual.
Where to find the model and serial label
Check these common label locations on Kenmore dishwashers like model 58717245990:
- Inside the door opening on the tub frame (left or right side)
- Along the top edge of the tub opening (under the counter lip)
- On the inner door panel near the latch area
- On the side wall of the tub opening, behind the door seal
What to write down (and why)
Record the information exactly as shown on the rating label.
- Model number (used to match diagrams and parts)
- Serial number (helps confirm production series and compatible revisions)
- Brand (Kenmore)
- Any type/series wording printed near the model number
Quick reference
| Item | What it’s used for | Example for this page |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Correct parts list and diagrams | 58717245990 |
| Serial number | Confirms production run details | From your label |
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers can look similar, and small differences can change the correct water inlet valve, door latch parts, or rack hardware. Using the exact model number helps ensure you get the right replacement the first time.

Why is my Kenmore dishwasher leaking from the bottom?
A Kenmore dishwasher model 58717245990 typically leaks from the bottom when water is escaping past the door seal, oversudsing is forcing water out, or a fill or drain component is leaking underneath the tub. We start by checking loading, detergent, and the most common leak points.
Quick checks that fix many “bottom leak” complaints
- Make sure the door closes fully; nothing should stick out and interfere with sealing.
- Use only fresh automatic dishwasher detergent; too much or the wrong soap causes oversudsing.
- If you add a dish after starting, wait a few seconds before latching so pressure equalizes.
- Look for water coming from the door vent area and running down to the base.
- Confirm the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side (a tilt can push water toward the door).
For model-specific operating and loading guidance, follow the 58717245990 owner's manual.
Most common under-dishwasher leak sources (and what to look for)
Leaks that appear “from the bottom” often start at a component and then drip into the base pan.
| Where you see water | Most likely cause | What you can do first |
|---|---|---|
| Front center, under door | Door not sealing, oversuds, vent splash | Correct loading, reduce detergent, check door closure |
| Left side near supply line | Inlet valve seep or loose fitting | Inspect for mineral tracks, snug fittings |
| Near float area | Overfilling from float issue | Check float moves freely, clear debris |
| Rear/side near hoses | Drain hose or clamp leak | Inspect hose for cracks, tighten clamp |
Parts that commonly relate to leaks on this model
If you find dripping at these locations, these model-matched parts are common fixes:
- Water valve 154637401 (inlet valve leaks or won’t shut off cleanly)
- Dishwasher float switch 154225501 (overfill protection issues)
- Dishwasher tub gasket 8581548276014 (seal leaks that run down into the base)
- Clamp 154611101 (loose or weak hose connections)
Why it matters
A small leak can look minor but it can wet wiring, damage flooring, and trigger intermittent operation problems. Fixing oversudsing and door sealing issues first prevents unnecessary part replacement.
