Quick overview
Your washer’s Model Number identifies the design and features, while the Serial Number is unique to your specific unit. Both are needed for repairs, parts replacement, and warranty registration.
Common places to check
Look around the door frame or lid for a sticker or plate showing the numbers.
Check the back of the washer near the power cord or water connections for a label.
Some front-load washers have a sticker inside the drum opening or detergent tray area.
Check under the unit or side panels if accessible.
Documents may list both Model andSerial Numbers.

Troubleshooting if you can't find it
- Open the door or lid and inspect around the frame carefully.
- Check behind or under the washer, using a flashlight if necessary.
- Look inside the detergent drawer or drum opening.
- If still missing, check your purchase receipt or warranty card.
What to do with the numbers
- Register your appliance online for warranty and service support.
- Provide both numbers when requesting parts or scheduling repairs.
- Keep a photo of the label for quick reference.
- Use the model number to download the correct user manual.
🧠 Tip: Washer serial numbers are often 8–12 characters long and may include letters and numbers (e.g., KR12345678). Models often include brand and series (e.g., LG WM3900HWA, Whirlpool WFW5620HW).
