Kenmore Dishwasher 587.15233900A (58715233900A, 587 15233900A) Parts

This thermistor is the dishwasher's temperature sensor. It reports water temperature to the control so the heater and cycle timing are managed correctly, helping restore reliable wash performance and more consistent drying.

• Monitors water temperature in the tub/sump and sends readings to the control board
• Helps the control regulate heater operation and determine cycle progress/timing
• Failure can result in no heat or poor drying
• May cause unusually long/short cycles or temperature-related fault codes

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Access is typically from the toe-kick/base area or sump; remove the lower access panel as needed
• Release the locking tab/clip, remove the sensor, and ensure the existing seal/O-ring is properly seated; install the new sensor fully to prevent leaks
• Reconnect the wire harness, restore power, and run a test cycle to check for leaks and proper heating

This Shield is a protective cover used in select appliances. It helps guard nearby components and guide airflow or heat as designed, restoring proper protection when the original shield is cracked, warped, damaged, or missing.

• Acts as a barrier/deflector to protect components from heat, moisture, grease, or debris as designed for your model
• Helps maintain intended airflow, heat path, or splash control inside the appliance
• Replace if the shield is cracked, warped, burned, broken, or missing
• Symptoms can include visible damage, scorched or discolored areas near the shield, rattling/vibration, or exposed areas that were previously covered

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off gas
• Wear gloves—edges can be sharp on metal shields
• Reuse original screws/clips unless your model provides replacements
• Seat the shield flat and do not overtighten fasteners

This door gasket is the flexible rubber seal that closes the refrigerator door, helping keep cold air in and reduce energy loss. Replacing a worn or torn gasket restores a tight seal and helps the appliance maintain proper temperature. What it does:

• Seals the cabinet to keep cold air inside and warm air out
• Helps maintain consistent fridge/freezer temperature and efficiency
• Reduces frosting and moisture buildup caused by leaks
• Commonly needed when the seal is cracked, torn, warped, or no longer mates flush with the cabinet

• One replacement door gasket

• Clean the door flange and gasket mounting area before installing to ensure a proper seal
• Inspect for mounting clips or retainer channel; follow appliance-specific alignment steps for a snug fit
• Warm the gasket slightly (per OEM guidance) if needed to ease installation — avoid open flames or excessive heat

A replacement bearing that supports the dryer drum and restores smoother, quieter rotation. Replaces a worn or damaged bearing to help reduce noise and prevent excess drum play. What it does

• Provides a low-friction mounting point for the drum shaft to rotate smoothly
• Keeps the drum aligned and reduces wobble during operation
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal contact that causes grinding or rumbling noises
• Can reduce strain on the motor and belt by restoring proper drum support

• Disconnect power before beginning any disassembly
• Replacement typically requires removing panels and the drum;
• Inspect surrounding seals, shafts, and mounting hardware and replace if worn
