Serial number	Production identifier	Keep it for service history and support

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58717252201 is worth it when the fix is a common wear item (rack wheels, door latch parts, switches) and the total repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. If the dishwasher is very old and needs multiple major parts, replacement usually makes more sense.

Quick decision checklist

• If the problem is mechanical and isolated (door won’t latch, rack won’t roll, minor leak), repair is typically the best value.
• If you need multiple expensive electrical parts (control panel, wire harness) at the same time, replacement is usually the better spend.
• If the tub or inner door panel is leaking, check coverage details in the 58717252201 owner’s manual.
• If the dishwasher has been unused for 2+ weeks, run hot water at the sink first (hydrogen gas warning) before testing cycles.
• If you plan DIY work, disconnect power before servicing.

Common “worth it” repairs on this model

These are frequent, targeted fixes that often restore normal operation without a full rebuild:

• Rack not rolling smoothly: replace a worn dishwasher wheel 5304532229
• Door won’t stay closed or won’t start: inspect latch and strike alignment
• Overfilling or not filling correctly: check the float switch and inlet valve
• Small leaks at the door: inspect the tub gasket and door sealing surfaces

Repair vs replace: cost and symptom guide

What you’re seeing	Likely scope	Typical recommendation
Rack falls off track, binds, or wobbles	Roller/wheel/stop hardware	Repair
Door won’t latch, cycle won’t begin	Latch/strike/switch checks	Repair
Dishes not drying well	Settings, water temp, loading	Repair (often no parts)
Multiple failures plus heavy corrosion or repeated leaks	Major rebuild risk	Replace

Why it matters

A dishwasher is usually most cost-effective to repair when the failure is a single, identifiable part. The manual also notes normal conditions that can look like a “problem” (for example, a small amount of water in the tub bottom is normal and helps keep the seal lubricated), which can prevent unnecessary part replacement.
