Kenmore 14789 Built-In Dishwasher Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Water pooling at the bottom of the tub
- Wash cycle ending early
- Dishes spotted or cloudy
- Door seal weeping along the lower edge
Kenmore lists the 14789 as a 24-inch built-in electric dishwasher with the UltraWash system and a 54 dBA quiet package, offered in white or black. It pairs with the 14782 in the same group. A standard cabinet opening with a nearby hot water line and drain is all it needs.
Nothing in this listing names the company that built it. We read the model-number prefix on the data plate to learn the builder, and we record the serial as well. Parts and test steps then follow that platform rather than the Kenmore name.
If a cycle ends early on a dishwasher like this one, we check the door switch, the float and the control before touching the pump. For pooled water, we trace the drain from the sump to the sink connection. A weeping door seal is checked against the gasket and the door alignment. We tell you the price in writing before we begin, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.

Error codes this model can show
Why does the cycle quit before it finishes?
On built-ins of this type, early stops usually come from the door switch, the float or a pump that overheats. We test each of these and explain which one the evidence points to.
Can hard water cause the cloudy look on dishes?
It can, but we confirm that the filter is clean and the spray is strong first. If both are fine, the issue may be water quality or detergent rather than the dishwasher.
Is a 54 dBA rating normal for this class?
It is the number Kenmore gives for this quiet package. We do not use it as a repair target; a new or louder sound on your unit is what we investigate.
