58715079200 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Simply took the old one out, and put the new one in.

there were two screws securing the dishwasher to the counter top, I took those out and pulled the dishwasher out about 12 inches the spring and plastic linkage was visible, I just unhooked the one that wasn't broke and installed the new linkage and spring the same way it came off the one that was broke was even easier i just looked at the one that wasn't broke and put the linkage and spring on the same way, I pushed the dishwasher back under the counter top and put the screws back in took about 10 to 15 mins I am an ex-mechanic so I am pretty fast anyway.

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

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.

Took out the two retaining screws and pulled the unit forward. Took the old door strike out and put in the new one. This site is where I go for all my appliance repair parts!!!

I think the videos on the site are awesome. Made both repairs after watching them. They explain the repairs in a simple to follow way.

Easy fix but not cheap
replaced drain trap and four rack wheels with clips

All parts were expensive for the items.
found cheaper wheels w/clips for much less on another site.

if the wire they snap on was bent it needs to be straightend.......they just snap on. easy to install but wish they had better wheels so this problem would be solved. My 2 sons have same brand dishwashers and have same problem.

Removed two screws,one on each side of the bottom part of the door. The door cover then comes off. Then 6 screws hold on the dispenser. Shut off power and remove two wire connections. Replace dispenser. Replace lower door cover and two screws. Done.

pulled of dishwasher a couple of inches,
installed springs
pushed dishwasher back
done!

Unhooked the dishwasher and took it out. Laid the dishwasher on it's back. Located the drain pump and took it off. Put the new one in it's place. Hooked the dishwasher back up and tried it out. Everything sounded and ran good. Easy assembly. Took 30-40 minutes if that.

I removed the door panel and ran the dishwasher to determine where it was leaking. Ordered the parts. When parts arrived I removed door in order to get at the bottom door gasket, replace it, and removed the tube gasket and replaced it with new parts. The whole job was very easy for a person that's never repaired a dishwasher before. I also found that the return tube gasket at the top of the dishwasher was leaking and repaired that by making a new gasket out of a flat piece of rubber and an o-ring. All leaks have been repaired. With regards to the return tube issue, it may have only been loose and if so, I could have just tightened the return tube outlet and gotten the same results. The people at this site were excellent. Thank You

I used both epoxy on the male threads and then pulled out the case and twisted the flat car body flat kind of a nut. Let it sit for 36 hours and now like new.

Removed old hose and went to install new hose from Part Select. Part received was not the same as advertised. It was 6-8 inches shorter than the original hose. Would not make the necessary turns because of shorter length. I even went to Video instruction on installation even though I have been in Machine repair for 30 years , this video showed using the shorter hose and when installed in the video hose also had a kink because of hose length. Had to stop repair and go to hardware store and purchase a longer hose. This purchased hose from the hardware was 50% cheaper and actually worked. I also paid for 2-3 day shipping and received part 7 days later. I am very disappointed with Parts Select and am an owner of an Equipment Rental Facility and will never utilize Parts Select again.

Viewing the instruction video provided online made my repair process extremely easy. Only thing that held me up was finding a tool to help me remove the torque screws from the latch. Thank goodness for inheriting my grandfather's tools and eventually finding the right bit. The latch came with a new gasket but I recommend not replacing it if it's not necessary. I did replace ours at first but it was too thick and caused our dishwasher to leak. So I placed our original gasket back after cleaning it up and it works just fine. This wife was able to complete this project with two kids under the age of 4 and a hyper border collie running around while the husband was at work.
