58714439201 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

First dissconnect power, and remove the 6 phillips-head screws from the back/upper side of the door, next remove the 2 torx screws holding the handle assembly, and unplug the 2 micro switches attached to the handle. Reverse this procedure and you're finished. It's so easy, a caveman could do it.

Simple- Disconnect electric to washer, Remove inner door panel with philips screw driver, disconnect electrical wires watching exactly how they are to be replaced. remove star screws securing handle mechanism. Replace with new handle, connect wiring, replace inner door panel and your all set. Good luck.

I clipped the wheels onto the rack. It couldn't be any easier. then i removed the # 25 torx screw which attached the broken slide wheel to the tub and installed the new wheel with the same torx screw.

Snapped new wheels into place on the axel. New wheels were exactly like the old ones

I read other descriptions on how to repair this item at this site. All were spot on. Simply unscrew the control panel (6 screws on inside of unit), then unscrew the two screws holding the latch in place (it's a one piece unit), then remove the (4) leads to the latch paying attention to where each of the colored wires goes...re-attach all screws and you are done. It worked like a breeze after I was done. I did forget to turn off the power to the dishwasher as I thought i did but due to the broken latch the unit wouldn't function so I misjudged it. Next time (hopefully there isn't one) I will make sure power is off. I didn't use the gasket but have it in case something leaks down the road. Took less than 10 minutes and my 11 year old son helped too!

Took off 2 screws and took the old detergent holder off and put the new one on....Very easy...took all of 5 mins

I actually didn't. I watched my husband replace the latch and gasket. All he used were screwdrivers to remove the panel on the inside of the door. The latch assembly had to plug in and two screens. He unscrewed, unflugged the broken unit, replaced it with the new by screwing in the two screens and plugging the the prongs into the panel. He then put the door cover back on. It took about 10 minutes and the dishwasher is as good as new!!

Removed six screws to the front cover panel. Remove two star bit screws holding door latch assemble in place. Removed four wires. Attached four wires. Put the two star bit screws back. Reassemble front cover and put back six screws. Job Done!

I removed 6 screws, and the front top panel came off, which had the handle unit attached. It had 2 screws to remove, and 1 wire plug to pull out. I put the handle unit on, plugged the wire harness in and put the panel screws back in. It took about 5 minutes. I saved about $90.00. I am so glad I found this website. It is now in my FAVORITES

First I pulled out the old gasket, used this to measure for the new gasket, cut to right length, pushed new gasket into the track and washed a load of dishes. No leaks! This took about 2 minutes to complete.

Snapped the new one in. One second repair - like new.

Didn't have a Torx screwdriver, but an Allen Wrench worked just fine. Also had to replace the gasket. Was worried about the fit of the door when closed with the new latch as the handle was very limp compared with the original. Also suspected that the new latch would cause the door to seat differently on the old gasket. Eventually found out from a repairman that the replacement handle does feel limp when the door is shut, and that they include the new gasket in case the old one is worn or that the new latch causes the door to seat differently on the old gasket.

I used the diagnostic tool to determine which part I needed and ordered it. After receiving the part very quickly I took off the front panel easily enough and removed the old part as per video instructions. I realized it did not look exactly the same. I wasted a good bit of time calling both the parts co. and Fridgidaire to find out that there had been numerous problems with the old part so a new part was designed differently and therefore did not look the same but should work. Reviewing the video again I installed it and Voila the dishwasher was once again operational. The big mistake is I took the complete front part of the dishwasher off which took a while to reinstall. All in all the experience was a good one. Saved me money and God knows these days every penny counts.

Removed about 7 screws, unplugged the wiring, plugged the new handle / switch in, replaced screws and I was done!

This repair turned out quite easy. I removed the 6 phillips head screws that held the door latch cover in place, dropped the cover and let it hang while I removed the latch assembly that was held in place by two torx head screws. I used needle nosed pliers to gently disconnect the wiring connectors from the old latch assembly one at the time, then carefully attached the wire to corresponding lug on the new latch. Once all wiring was transferred, I installed the new latch using the two torx head screws, replaced the cover, and reinstalled the 6 phillips head screws to secure the cover. There was no need to replace the gasket, so I'm holding on to it for future use.
