1. GE
On GE washers, the model and serial number for washing machine are usually located on a sticker behind the control panel. If the label isn’t there, open the lid and check the underside or the rim where the lid connects with the washer body. GE places the label in areas that remain visible yet protected from water and daily wear. This helps users and technicians identify the washer easily during maintenance.
Before inspecting the label, always unplug the washer to ensure safety. You can use a soft cloth to wipe away dust or moisture that might cover the sticker. GE uses durable materials for the label to maintain readability over time. You can refer to the user manual if the sticker has faded or is missing.

2. LG
LG front-load washers typically display the model and serial number on the door frame. Open the washer door and look along the inner edge of the opening to locate the label. On top-loading models, you may find the sticker under the lid or on the rear control panel. LG designs the washer so the label remains visible even after years of use.
Always inspect all access points carefully if you don’t find the label at first glance. You need to be sure the washer is turned off before checking under the lid. LG prints the numbers in a clear format, making them easy to read. You can also find this information in the original product documentation.

3. Bosch
On Bosch washers, the model and serial number label is most commonly located inside the door frame. To find it, you can open the front door fully and inspect the inner rim. Bosch places the sticker in this position to protect it from moisture and to ensure long-term visibility. The print is usually black on a silver or white background for contrast.
In some Bosch models, the label may also appear behind the detergent drawer. If the door area does not have the label, pull out the drawer and look underneath. You should use a flashlight if needed to improve visibility. Maybe you will also refer to the owner’s manual for backup label locations if it’s not immediately visible.
4. Maytag
Maytag washers generally have their model and serial number labels placed around the door or lid opening. On front-load models, open the door and inspect the metal rim and surrounding areas. For top-load washers, lift the lid and look underneath or near the top panel edge. Maytag aims to keep this label accessible but safe from everyday splashes and abrasion.
If you can't locate the sticker near the opening, check behind the control panel or the rear of the machine. Always unplug the appliance before moving it. The label is essential for warranty registration and ordering parts. You can also find the information on purchase receipts or original packaging.

5. Kenmore
Kenmore washers typically feature the model and serial number label inside the lid or on the back panel. Open the lid or door and check the rim, especially near the hinge or frame. If the label is not immediately visible, look near the control console or pull the washer forward slightly to inspect the back. Kenmore places these labels in consistent, easy-to-reach locations.
The label may be small, but it includes all key identification details. Be careful not to scratch or peel it when cleaning the washer. If the label is missing or damaged, refer to your product manual or contact support. Accurate identification is crucial when ordering replacement parts.

If necessary, you have to use a flashlight to locate it more easily. The numbers are clearly printed in black and are essential for customer support. Maybe you also need to write down this information in case the sticker becomes unreadable.

If it’s not there, gently pull out the detergent drawer and check the sides or bottom. Miele places the label in spots protected from frequent contact.
Miele uses high-quality labels that can withstand years of washing and heat exposure. Make sure the area is dry when you inspect the sticker. This label helps with product registration, warranty service, and ordering Miele-specific parts. Let’s keep a copy of the numbers in a secure place as backup.
