Hi folks, My Kenmore 58715203801 dishwasher has quit working, and I’d like to repair the problem myself, so if anyone has a a repair guide or service manual for this unit, or can provide some advice, I’d really value it. When I try to start a cleaning cycle, nothing happens: no lights or sounds, and no water flows. It just stopped mid-cycle yesterday. I’m looking for some advice to fix it. Please don't share the user manual, I already have it and it’s not useful. Thanks in advance for your support!
Welcome to the Dishwasher Repair Forum!
I have experienced a comparable issue with my Kenmore 58715203801 dishwasher a few months ago, and I found a comprehensive service manual on the internet. It features step-by-step directions, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic tips. Here’s the URL, I found it on a blog through reddit :
Hello, assistance required please I also have a Kenmore 58715203801 dishwasher, and I got the service manual mentioned above. Could someone explain how to check the power supply and what parts to inspect first? I’m a bit overwhelmed by the electrical schematics. Any advice would be great!
Start by checking the basics:
1. Power Supply: Use a multimeter to test the outlet and the terminal block where the power cord connects to the dishwasher. You should see around 120V (or 240V, depending on your model).
2. Door Switch: This is a common failure point. If the door isn’t fully closed or the switch is faulty, the dishwasher won’t start. Test the switch for continuity with a multimeter.
3. Thermal Fuse: If the dishwasher overheated, the thermal fuse might be blown. Check it for continuity as well.
Hello, I’m having trouble with my dishwasher too. I checked the power supply, and the socket, evrything is working, but there’s no voltage at the connection point. According to the schematic in the guide, I should have 120V there, right? How do I test the mainboard? Is my appliance totally faulty? The fuse seem fine, I tested it with a voltage meter. Any suggestions? 🤔
I think my dishwasher has an electrical problem because it won’t start at all. I’m not very experienced with fixing things, but I’m willing to give it a shot. I have a multimeter and some basic equipment. Can someone help me on where to start? I’ve heard the mainboard, pump, or door mechanism could be the issue. Any advice would be appreciated, can provide model number if needed!
Avoid jumping into replacing parts immediately. Depending on the issue, the method to diagnosing issues may vary. Sometimes, devices are recalled for safety, and you can simply let the manufacturer handle the repair.
Does your appliance have issues with the display, indicators, or makes noises? Start with the fundamentals by checking the electrical connection, door switch, and mainboard.
It’s important to proceed step by step instead of quickly swapping parts like the mainboard or motor. First, verify if the appliance is getting power. It’s as simple as that. Also, inspect the door switch and thermal fuse.
If you’re a total beginner in dishwasher repair, it might be better to call a repair shop to avoid causing more damage, even if it costs a little extra. They can easily diagnose the problem and identify the faulty part. Then, it’s your choice whether you want to replace it yourself. (A piece of advice: always unplug the dishwasher prior to working on it).
I believe I damaged my appliance thermal resistance while trying to swap the water valve. Now it won’t heat at all while operating. Is it likely I caused more damage? Something’s not working properly.
I downloaded the Kenmore 58715203801 maintenance guide guide hopefully it’ll help me figure out what went wrong. Fingers crossed...
This is my checklist for troubleshooting a malfunctioning dishwasher:
Electrical Supply: Check the dishwasher is receiving power. Test the socket and connection point too.
Latch: Test for continuity. A faulty wire can stop the dishwasher from working.
Thermal Fuse: Inspect if it’s damaged. Replace it if needed.
Mainboard: Examine for visible damage or loose connections.
Motor and Pump: Check for proper operation and confirm they’re functioning properly.
