Kenmore 58715159400 dishwasher Parts

For the Kenmore dishwasher model 58715159400, a “hard reset” is done by canceling the current cycle and clearing the control selection. Use the RESET button on the control panel, then reselect a cycle and restart the dishwasher (see the 58715159400 owner's manual).

Reset options that work on this model

Use the option that matches what your dishwasher is doing:

• Cancel a cycle: press RESET once to turn off a selected option or clear the current selection.
• Restart after canceling: turn the dial clockwise to your desired cycle, then close the door to latch and start.
• Clear a stuck option light: press RESET to turn the option off.
• End-of-cycle light won’t go off: turn the dial slightly until the CLEAN light goes off.

Step-by-step: “hard reset” (safe, no tools)

1. Open the door and wait a few seconds.
2. Press RESET on the control panel.
3. Turn the cycle dial clockwise to a fresh cycle selection.
4. Run hot water at the nearest faucet until it is hot, then turn it off.
5. Close the door firmly until it latches.

If the dishwasher still acts “frozen”

These checks fix most no-response situations without replacing parts:

What you see	What to do next
Timer dial turns but nothing runs	Confirm the door is fully latched; reselect cycle and latch door again.
Option light stays on	Press RESET to turn the option off, then reselect.
Cycle seems to pause a long time	If HIGH TEMP WASH is selected, the timer can pause while water heats to about 140°F.

Why it matters

Resetting the control correctly prevents partial fills, incomplete draining, and “stuck” option selections. It also helps you avoid misdiagnosing a normal heat pause (common with HIGH TEMP WASH) as a failure.

To tell which Kenmore dishwasher you have, we look up the model number on the rating label inside the door. For Kenmore model 58715159400, the label lists both the model number and serial number, which you can use to match the correct parts and manual.

Where to find the model and serial number label

Most Kenmore dishwashers place the rating label on the inner edge of the door opening. Check these common spots:

• Along the left side of the inner door frame
• Along the right side of the inner door frame
• On the top edge of the tub opening (near the latch area)
• On the door itself, near the side edge

If the label is hard to read, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and read it under a bright light.

What to write down (and why)

Record these items exactly as shown:

• Model number (example: 58715159400)
• Serial number (unique to your unit)
• Purchase date (if you still have it)
• Any suffixes or extra digits/letters shown on the label

Why it matters

The model number is what ensures you get the right Kenmore dishwasher parts (like a spray arm, water inlet valve, or door latch) and the correct procedures for service and troubleshooting.

Quick reference: model number vs. serial number

Item	What it identifies	When we use it
Model number	The exact dishwasher design/version	Picking correct parts and diagrams
Serial number	Your specific unit	Service history and production details

Next step after you find it

Once you confirm the model number, use the matching documentation for operating and care details:

• Review the owner's manual for feature descriptions, loading tips, and common problem solutions.

Water standing in the bottom of your Kenmore 58715159400 dishwasher after a completed cycle is not normal; it almost always means the unit is not draining properly. We focus first on the drain path (disposer connection, drain hose, and drain pump) and then check for a stuck overfill protector (float). See the owner's manual for model-specific checks.

Quick checks that fix most standing-water problems

• Confirm the cycle fully ended (some cycles pause briefly during spray-arm switching).
• If your dishwasher drains through a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
• If the dishwasher is newly installed or recently reconnected to a disposer, make sure the disposer inlet knockout plug was removed.
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a sag that traps water.
• Check that the dishwasher is level; poor leveling can affect draining and leak protection.

Parts to inspect on model 58715159400

If the drain path is clear but water still remains, these parts are common suspects:

• Drain pump: look for debris in the impeller area or a weak pump.
• Overfill protector (float): it should move up and down freely; clean underneath if it sticks.
• Water inlet valve: a valve that seeps can slowly refill the tub after draining.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
Water remains right after cycle ends	Drain restriction or drain pump issue	Check hose/disposer connection; inspect pump
Water returns hours later	Slow fill from inlet valve	Test/replace inlet valve
Intermittent draining	Float sticking or partial clog	Clean float area; recheck hose routing

When a replacement part is likely needed

Replace a part when you see one of these conditions:

• Drain pump hums but water does not move (impeller jammed or pump failing).
• Drain hose is clear but draining is still weak.
• Float does not drop freely after cleaning.
• Tub refills with clean water while the dishwasher is off.

Model-matched parts you can use include the dishwasher drain pump A00126501 and the valve 154637401.

Why it matters

Standing water can lead to odors, poor cleaning, and can trigger overfill protection behavior. Restoring proper drain flow protects the wash system and helps the spray arms and filters work as designed.

Common problems on the Kenmore 58715159400 dishwasher include not starting, poor cleaning, not draining, leaks, and long cycle times. Most issues trace back to power or door-latch problems, low water fill, blocked spray arms, drain restrictions, or detergent and leveling problems (all covered in the owner's manual).

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Dishwasher won’t run: tripped breaker or blown fuse, water supply off, cycle not set correctly, delay start selected, or door not fully closed and latched
• Poor cleaning (food soils left on dishes): items blocking spray arms, incorrect loading, low water pressure, water not hot enough, hard water, or old detergent
• Not draining or water left in tub: disposer knockout plug not removed, kinked drain hose, disposer not empty, or cycle paused/not complete
• Leaks/overflowing: too much or wrong detergent (foaming), spilled rinse aid, or dishwasher not level
• Long cycle times: water-heating delay or delay start option

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Confirm the door closes and latches firmly; restart the cycle.
2. Verify the water supply valve is fully open.
3. Check for kinks in the drain hose and confirm the cycle fully completed.
4. Make sure nothing blocks spray arm rotation; re-load to avoid nesting.
5. Use fresh automatic dishwasher detergent; measure carefully.
6. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid immediately.
7. Confirm the dishwasher is level (see the installation guide).

When a part is the likely fix

If the basic checks don’t solve it, these model-matched parts are common culprits:

Symptom	Part to check	What it affects
Poor cleaning, debris left behind	Dishwasher spray arm 5304517203	Water spray coverage and arm rotation
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Valve 154637401	Water entering the dishwasher
Leaks at the door	Gasket 809006501	Door sealing during wash
Water won’t stop filling or overfills	Switch 154773201	Overfill protection (float switch)
No heat, poor drying, long heat delays	Heater 154665201	Water heating and drying performance
Won’t drain	Dishwasher drain pump A00126501	Pumping water out to the drain

Why it matters

Most “dishwasher problems” are performance issues caused by water supply, temperature, loading, detergent, or drainage setup. Fixing those basics first prevents repeat clogs, foaming leaks, and unnecessary part replacements.
