Refrigerators
Inside Upper Side Wall
Open the main refrigerator door and inspect the upper right or left interior liner wall near the top shelf. This is the most common location on modern French-door and top-freezer models from brands such as Samsung, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire. If the tag is not on the side wall, check the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light housing.
Behind the Crisper Drawer
Open the fresh-food compartment, remove the lower fruit or vegetable crisper drawers, and inspect the lower interior back or side frame. Manufacturers often place the tag in this protected area to prevent normal use from damaging or obscuring the barcode. Wipe away any dust or debris before attempting to read the label.
Door Frame
Inspect the perimeter edge of the refrigerator or freezer door and the inner cabinet frame where the rubber door gasket seals. Pay particular attention to the side edges near the hinges. This location is common on built-in and compact premium appliances because the label remains concealed when the door is closed.
Bottom Kick Plate
Inspect the lower front base of the refrigerator near the floor. The tag may be attached to the plastic or metal ventilation grille (kick plate) or to the structural cabinet rail behind it. If it is not visible on the outer surface, carefully remove the grille cover. Manufacturers frequently place the model and serial information directly on the metal frame underneath.
Washer & Dryers (Front Load)
Inside Top Lid (Stackable or Matching Units)
For stacked laundry centres, open the top lid or lint-filter access area and inspect the inner rim. On many dryers, the model tag is located around the lint-trap housing.
Behind the Front Panel or Frame
Open the main door fully and inspect the exposed cabinet frame behind the front panel. This is a common model-tag location on front-load washers and dryers from many major manufacturers.
Door Frame
Inspect the inner edge of the door frame and the surrounding cabinet opening. The model label is often positioned so that it is visible when the door is open.
Bottom Kick Plate or Front Grille
Inspect the lower access panel, drain-pump filter door, or bottom kick plate near the floor. On some models, the rating label is attached to the inside of this panel.
Washer & Dryers (Top Load)
Under the Lid Near the Hinge
Raise the main lid fully. Inspect the underside of the lid and the cabinet frame beside the left or right hinge. This is a common location on Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore top-load models. Use a flashlight if necessary, as lint or dust may partially obscure the label.
Inside the Tub Rim
Open the lid and inspect the recessed metal or plastic rim surrounding the tub opening. Check beneath the back and side edges of the rim; manufacturers such as GE often place the tag in this protected area to reduce exposure to water.
Rear Control Panel
Inspect the back of the appliance. The identification plate may be attached to the rear of the control-console housing or to the upper rear cabinet panel. If the appliance is installed in a confined laundry area, use your phone’s camera and flash to view the label without moving the appliance.
Bottom Side Panel
Inspect the lower edge of the outer side panels, particularly near the front or rear corners at floor level. This location is common on certain commercial, stacked, and older heavy-duty laundry appliances.
Dishwashers
Inner Kick Plate Area
Under Main Tub Basin
Top Inner Tub Rim
Open the dishwasher door fully and inspect the top edge of the stainless-steel or plastic tub frame where the door seals. This is a common location on Bosch, Miele, and newer Whirlpool models. If necessary, remove dried detergent or mineral residue with a damp cloth before reading the label.
Inner Tub Wall (Side)
Open the door fully and inspect the left and right interior walls of the tub, usually near the front edge of the upper-rack track. Manufacturers such as Maytag and Frigidaire often place the rating label in this area. It is concealed when the door is closed but readily visible when the upper rack is pulled forward slightly.
Lower Door Hinge and Frame Panel
Open the dishwasher door fully and inspect the lower left and right corners where the door hinges meet the cabinet frame. On many European and premium North American models, the label is positioned vertically on the side edge of the inner door liner or on the structural frame beside the hinge mechanism. View the area from the side if necessary.
Top Edge of Door (Gasket Area)
Open the door slightly and inspect the top edge and side perimeter of the door liner near the rubber gasket. This is a common location on modern integrated-control dishwashers with controls concealed along the top of the door, including many Samsung and KitchenAid models.
Inner Kick Plate Area
Inspect the lower base of the dishwasher. The tag may be attached to the structural lip beneath the open door or positioned behind the front kick plate. Use a flashlight and look directly downward along the lower frame. This location is common on older residential and heavy-duty built-in models.
Under the Main Tub Basin
Inspect the front edge of the structural base pan beneath the door opening. On certain European, low-profile, or specialized models, the label is attached to the lower chassis-frame lip below the hinge level.
Ranges, Cooktops & Ovens
Under the Cooktop Near the Knobs
Open the main oven door and inspect the upper frame lip beneath the front control knobs or cooktop overhang. This is a common location on modern slide-in and freestanding gas or electric ranges, including many Samsung and Frigidaire models. The label may face downward or outward and remains concealed when the oven door is closed.
Inside the Oven Frame
Open the oven door fully and inspect the perimeter of the oven-cavity frame, including the left and right sides, upper header, and lower sill. Although the label is designed to withstand elevated temperatures, grease may accumulate over time. Clean the frame gently with a mild cleaner to ensure the complete model number is legible.
Rear Panel (Large or Stack Units)
Carefully move the appliance away from the wall, or use your phone’s camera to inspect the upper and middle sections of the rear cabinet panel. On commercial-style ranges, double ovens, and built-in wall units, manufacturers often place the permanent identification label on the rear chassis frame.
Bottom Storage Drawer
Remove the lower storage, warming, or broiler drawer completely. Inspect the drawer rails, the interior frame of the range, and the back wall of the drawer cavity. This is a common location on standard freestanding ranges, particularly Whirlpool, GE, and Kenmore models. Removing the drawer from its tracks generally makes the label easier to read.
Microwave & Over-The-Range (OTR) Models
Top of the Door Frame
Left Side of the Door Frame
Under the Upper Vents (OTR Models)
Inside the Control-Panel Frame
Right Side of the Door Frame
Under the Main Chassis Frame
Top of the Door Frame
Open the microwave door fully and inspect the upper horizontal surface of the inner frame or recess. Manufacturers frequently place the identification label in this area so that it remains concealed when the door is closed but is easy to access when open.
Left Side of the Door Frame
Inspect the inner left edge of the cabinet opening and the corresponding edge of the door. This is a common label location on countertop and built-in microwave models from major manufacturers.
Under the Upper Vents (OTR Models)
On over-the-range microwaves, inspect the underside of the frame near the exhaust-vent filters and the area behind the upper vent-panel cover. The rating label is often located in one of these areas.
Inside the Control-Panel Frame
Open the door and inspect the inner right side of the frame adjacent to the control panel. On certain combination and built-in models, the data label is positioned vertically in this area.
Right Side of the Door Frame
Inspect the inner right side of the door-cavity frame and the surfaces near the hinge and latch mechanisms. The label is typically attached flat against the metal chassis.
Under the Main Chassis Frame
On countertop models, inspect the exterior bottom panel and the lower rear casing. You may need to lift the unit carefully or move it forward to view this area safely.
