How to Find Your Appliance Model Number

You need the exact model number to order the right parts, check warranty status, and find accurate repair guides. Here's exactly where to look on every major brand.

📱
Top Tip — Use your phone camera! Model number stickers are often small and in awkward spots. Take a photo with your phone and pinch to zoom in — much easier than squinting with a torch. Save the photo to an album called "Appliances" so you always have it handy.

📌 What are you looking for?

Depending on the brand, the label may use different terminology. Here's what each term means:

Label / TermWhat it meansExample
Model No / Model Number The main identifier — always use this WGG24400GB
E-Nr / ENr Bosch/Siemens/Neff identifier — essential for correct parts WAS28448GB/01
PNC / Prod No AEG/Electrolux product number (9 digits) 914520402
Model + Industrial Code Used on some older European models WML540P / 34548
Model Code (ends in /EU) Samsung European market models WF80F5E5U4W/EU
Serial No Individual unit ID — not the same as model number
