Kenmore Dishwasher 587.71551 (58771551, 587 71551) Parts

A single #8A x 1/2" screw used to fasten trim, panels, and internal components on compatible appliances. Small but essential, it restores secure mounting and stops loose parts from rattling or shifting. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded screws that cause rattling or loose fittings
• Provides proper thread engagement for consistent, reliable fastening
• Helps maintain alignment of components that depend on a correctly sized screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before working on any electrical or mechanical components
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and avoid overtightening; snug is usually sufficient for sheet-metal fastening
• Keep removed fasteners in a small container to avoid loss during reassembly

The dishwasher dispenser grommet is a small rubber seal that prevents detergent and rinse aid from leaking around the dispenser mechanism in the door. Located where the dispenser cup meets the door panel, it maintains a watertight seal during wash cycles. Replace if detergent leaks from the dispenser area, the grommet is cracked or missing, or cleaning agents don't dispense properly.

This component circulates water throughout the dishwasher's lower wash arm and prevents leaks at the connection point. Located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, it should be replaced if you notice poor cleaning performance, unusual noises during wash cycles, or water pooling beneath the unit.
