58714014411B Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

First point of leakage was the door. Turns out that a gasket at the bottom of the door functions as a wave trap. As the bottom sprayer spins it sprays against the door and creates a small wave of water this gasket was starting to disintegrate, it was letting water surge over the small tray at the doors bottom. Easy to replace just pull down and remove press fit on inside door bottom. Only when this was replaced did I find the real leak but not until I guessed at the tub seal as the leak. Very hard to see where the water really comes from! Turns out it was not the tub seal but a clip that holds the heater element got smashed down from a dropped dish rack at some earlier time and this caused the heat to increase at the clip and eventually heat the clip to extent it melted the tub directly under it. JB Weld to the rescue and we have a waterproof tub again. Well almost! The tub gasket resisted my best efforts to seat correctly and thus required a new tub gasket, still hard to seat but after 2-3 attempts we have a winner. Total cost about 50 bucks vs. 6-700 for a new unit. Wife is happy!!

Easy as pie. Just turned off water and electricity. Disconnected hoses and wires and replaced with the new valve.

The Inlet valve was leaking. I removed the old valve in less than 30 min.Note: need bright flashlight! It could have been quicker but I had to lie on the floor and squeeze my big hands under the opening (kick panel). Once I got the two small bolts out, I was able to manipulate the valve out from under the dishwasher, then I carefully removed the two lines. I received the part in 5 days and installed it in 45 minutes. It could have been a faster installation, however I was not about to pull out the whole dishwasher. Again, I was able to manipulate the new valve back in & tighten then test everything.(note: need a bright flashlight to see underneath) I immediately ran a load of dishes and Presto! No leaks and runs like a Swiss watch!

My daughter held the flashlight steady as a rock as I hooked not one, but two new hinges in place. Throughout the whole ordeal neither of us complained or lost our resolve. We conquered!

It only took about 20 minutes to replace. Thanks for the video.

Turned off elecrtic and water to dishwasher and pulled dishwasher out from under cabinet. Removed broken hose using pliers to open hose clamps.
installed new hose.

After moving the dishwasher out from the cabinetry, I removed the screws holding the pump in place. Pulling the pump from the formed plastic opening, I found a toothpick lodged in the pump housing. At the same time I noticed that the front o-ring was deformed due to being the incorrect size (too large). It was installed at the factory this way.

I went online to search for new parts. PartSelect was the second or third listing on the search page. I submitted the dishwasher model number and was taken to a set of parts illustrations. I was easily able to find the o-rings I needed.

Pulled old gasket off with small hook. Replaced new gasket by pressing in with my fingers.

Replaced upper wash blade and used screwdriver to pop off rail stops to slide rack all the way out to exchange

I read the instructions that others had posted and completed the repair in less than 5 minutes!

Pulled off the old gasket and replaced it the same way with the new one.

New piece snapped right on

The old gasket was worn. I pulled out the old one, put in the new gasket. I trimmed the ends to fit and that was it.

Removed the two screws that mount to count top pulled the dishwasher out to see how the spring was attached , installed the new spring and the job was done the job it took about 15 mins. to complete.
