Kenmore Dishwasher 587.16259402 (58716259402, 587 16259402) 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 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

• Stops rattling or vibration caused by loose hardware
• Replaces stripped or corroded screws to ensure secure connections
• Works wherever the OEM screw is specified in the appliance

This is an adhesive Energy Guide label that mounts on the appliance exterior to show the manufacturer's estimated energy use and rating. Replaces a missing, torn, or unreadable energy guide so ratings are clearly visible. What it does:

• Displays the appliance's estimated energy consumption and efficiency information.
• Restores required labeling if the original guide is damaged or removed.
• Helps homeowners verify energy rating details at a glance.
• Common symptom: label is missing, badly faded, or illegible.

• Surface must be clean, dry, and free of oils or residue before applying.
• Peel-and-stick installation; align carefully—adhesive is permanent and difficult to reposition.
