How to Find a Model Number
REFRIGERATOR
For most refrigerators, you will find their model number clearly printed on their compliance plate which is located on either the right or left-hand side wall of the refrigerator.
The smaller chest type freezers usually have their model number located on one of the sides of the cabinet.
WASHING MACHINE
Usually, you will find the model number of a washing machine located on the back of the control panel, however some older models also display the model number on the side panels. For certain front-loading washing machines, the model number can be visible on the back of the door or near the door hinges.
For most older model Electrolux or Simpson washing machines, please ensure you note the “PNC” number which is located on the same label as the model number.
CLOTHES DRYER
Clothes dryers will usually have their model number label printed somewhere on the door. If you still cannot find the model number anywhere on the inside or outside of the door, it will be located on the back or side panels of the unit.
Please try to note down the complete model number of your dryer.
DISHWASHER
The model number for a dishwasher will usually be found around the border of the stainless-steel door liner. (Check the tops and sides after opening the door)
