Kenmore 58715072200 dishwasher Parts

Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the tub; on Kenmore model 58715072200, the label is on the right side of the tub when you open the door. Write down the full model number exactly as shown before ordering parts or troubleshooting.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the door and look along the right interior tub wall for the model/serial label.
• Check the inner door frame area near the latch and hinges.
• Look along the top edge of the door (visible when the door is open).
• If the label is dirty or faded, wipe it gently and use a flashlight.

What the model number looks like

For this Kenmore dishwasher family, the model number is typically a long number and may appear with punctuation in the manual (for example, 587.15072). For parts lookup, use the full model number format shown on the label, such as 58715072200.

You see on the label/manual	Use for parts lookup	Why
587.15072 (short format)	58715072200 (full model)	The full model targets the exact configuration and parts list
Model/serial label text	Exact characters shown	Prevents ordering the wrong door latch, gasket, or hose

Why the exact model number matters

Kenmore dishwashers can share a similar look but use different components (door latch, heating element, drain hose routing, and control parts). Using the exact model number helps us match the correct diagrams and compatible parts the first time.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is usually worth it when the issue is a leak, drain problem, or door-latch failure and the repair cost is reasonable compared to replacement. For Kenmore model 58715072200, many common fixes involve serviceable parts and basic troubleshooting steps in the 58715072200 owner's manual.

Quick way we decide: repair vs replace

• Repair if the dishwasher is cleaning well overall and you’re fixing one clear failure (leak, won’t drain, won’t start).
• Repair if the problem is a wear item such as a seal, hose, or latch.
• Replace if you have repeated major failures (motor, wiring, multiple leaks) and the total repair cost approaches the price of a new unit.
• Replace if the tub or inner door panel is damaged beyond a simple seal fix.
• Repair if you can DIY safely and the part is accessible.

Common repairs that are often cost-effective

These are typical “high value” repairs on 58715072200 because they address frequent symptoms without replacing the whole dishwasher:

• Door leaks at the bottom edge: replace the gasket 809006501
• Won’t drain or drains slowly: inspect/replace the hose 807117001
• Won’t fill or fills slowly: check the water valve 154637401
• Door won’t latch or starts then stops: inspect the latch and strike alignment (common on many Kenmore units)

Cost and complexity snapshot

Symptom	Likely area	Typical difficulty	Why it’s often worth it
Water on floor at door	Door seal	Easy to moderate	Stops leaks fast; low labor time
Standing water	Drain path	Easy to moderate	Often a hose or blockage issue
No water entering	Fill system	Moderate	Restores operation without replacing the unit
Poor drying/heat issues	Heating circuit	Moderate to advanced	Can be a single-part fix, but test first

Why it matters

A targeted repair can extend the life of your 58715072200 and restore cleaning performance. This model’s wash system is designed to filter wash water and manage temperature for cleaning and drying; when one component (like a valve, hose, or seal) fails, the rest of the machine is often still in good shape.

Yes. On Kenmore dishwasher model 58715072200, you can replace the rubber door seal when it’s torn, flattened, or leaking. The job is usually straightforward: remove the racks for access, pull the old seal out, clean the channel, then press the new seal in evenly.

What to buy for this model

For the lower door sealing surface, use the correct model-matched seal:

• Gasket 809006501

How to replace the door seal (basic steps)

1. Turn off power to the dishwasher at the breaker.
2. Open the door and slide out the upper and lower racks for working room.
3. Pull the old seal straight out of the channel (work slowly to avoid tearing pieces off in the groove).
4. Clean the seal channel and surrounding tub edge with a damp cloth; remove detergent residue and grit.
5. Press the new seal into place a few inches at a time; keep it fully seated and even end-to-end.
6. Close the door and run a short cycle to confirm the leak is gone.

Quick checks if it still leaks

• Make sure the seal is fully seated in the channel with no twists or gaps.
• Check the door closes squarely and doesn’t hit the cabinet or countertop.
• Look for food debris around the tub gasket area and wipe it clean.
• Avoid loading knives or sharp items where they can nick the seal.

Seal replacement: what’s normal vs not

What you see	Usually means	What we do next
Drips at the bottom corners	Seal not seated evenly	Reseat the seal; confirm corners are fully pressed in
Water along the sides/top	Door not closing square or obstruction	Recheck rack position, dish loading, and door alignment
Leak only during fill	Water level issue	Inspect the overfill protector and inlet area

Why it matters

A good door seal keeps wash water inside the tub, protects the floor and cabinetry, and helps the dishwasher maintain proper spray pressure for better cleaning.
