When it comes to repairing or replacing parts, one of the first things you'll need is your dishwasher serial number and model code. But finding it isn’t always straightforward, it varies by brand and model. Whether you own a GE, Bosch, Whirlpool, LG, or another major brand, knowing exactly where to look will save time and avoid frustration. In this guide, AZParts will show you the quickest way to locate the model number on any dishwasher. Once you’ve found it, you can confidently search for the right parts at AZParts, your trusted source for quality replacements.
1. GE
On most GE dishwashers, the model number is printed on a durable label attached to the inner edge of the door frame. You’ll usually spot it on the left or right side after opening the door fully. In a few models, this label may be found on the top edge of the door or hidden behind the front kickplate. GE places these labels where they remain protected from steam and daily use while staying accessible when service is needed.

2. Frigidaire
Frigidaire typically locates the model number inside the dishwasher cavity. After opening the door, check along the right-hand side of the tub or the inner door panel. A few models may also include the label behind the lower toe panel. These labels are usually silver and easy to read. Frigidaire prioritizes user access by placing model information where it won't wear out quickly, making it easier to identify the appliance when repairs or replacements are required.

3. Whirlpool
If you own a Whirlpool dishwasher, check for the model number on a label placed on the inner door rim or tub wall. Some units show this information on the top edge of the door or close to the latch. Whirlpool uses high-quality adhesives to ensure the label stays intact even with frequent exposure to steam. Whether you’re registering your dishwasher or ordering a part, having this label visible makes the process smoother.

4. Bosch
Bosch places its model and serial number labels in sleek, hidden spots that don’t disrupt the dishwasher’s design. Most Bosch units feature the label on the side of the door or near the latch mechanism. You might also find it on the inner rim or sidewall once the door is open. Bosch uses stainless-style labels that resist heat and moisture. This durable placement ensures the information is available long after installation.

5. LG
On LG dishwashers, the model number is generally located on the door’s inner frame or the side wall of the interior tub. You’ll need to open the door and check along the rim or near the top corners. LG designs its labels to be clear and moisture-resistant, so they don’t fade over time. Keeping this number recorded is helpful when you contact support or order LG-specific replacement parts.
6. Miele
Miele dishwashers often include the model number in a more refined location. Typically, the label sits on the top edge of the door or along the tub frame, near the opening. You may need to check carefully, as Miele keeps it subtle to preserve the minimalist design. The label is durable and built to withstand repeated use and high temperatures. This attention to detail ensures that users can easily retrieve appliance information, even after years of use.
7. Maytag
For Maytag units, the model number can be found either on the inner door edge or along the tub frame. The placement varies slightly by model, but it’s commonly visible as soon as the door opens. Some versions might also hide it behind the front kick panel. Maytag chooses these positions to keep the label safe from wear while still being user-friendly. When contacting support or ordering parts, this number will be your key reference.

8. Samsung
Samsung dishwashers clearly display the model number inside the door. After opening, look along the left or right side of the tub, or check the top edge of the door near the control panel. The label is designed to be water- and steam-resistant. Samsung ensures this information remains legible throughout the product’s life. You’ll need it for registering the dishwasher, troubleshooting, or locating compatible components.

9. KitchenAid
KitchenAid appliances often hide their model numbers in neatly integrated areas. You’ll typically find the label inside the door, either near the top edge or along the inner frame close to the latch. Some models may feature the sticker just beneath the control panel. This strategic placement helps prevent the label from wearing off while remaining easy to locate. The model number is essential for accessing accurate repair support and genuine parts.

10. Kenmore
Kenmore dishwashers feature their model number on the door frame or within the tub’s inner wall. You should open the door fully and inspect the metal edges or the top of the tub frame. In rare cases, the number may appear behind the lower front panel. Kenmore places this information prominently so users can quickly identify their appliance during service calls, warranty claims, or when shopping for replacement parts.

11. Electrolux
To find the model number on an Electrolux dishwasher, open the door and examine the upper sides or inner rim of the tub. A silver label should display both the model and serial numbers. Depending on the model, the label might also be located behind the lower access panel. Electrolux uses this positioning to ensure visibility without exposing the label to high heat or detergent splash. Keeping this number noted helps with faster diagnostics and accurate part selection.

12. Amana
Amana dishwashers usually have their model number printed on a label inside the door frame or near the tub’s edge. Opening the door and checking near the hinges or top panel should reveal the tag. Occasionally, it might also be placed behind the bottom panel. Amana chooses long-lasting labels with clear text to help users quickly identify their unit when needed. Having this number ready speeds up warranty registration or parts orders.
13. Fisher & Paykel
Fisher & Paykel offers both traditional and drawer-style dishwashers, so model label locations vary. For standard models, the label is typically located on the door’s inner edge or along the tub wall. In drawer models, you’ll find it underneath the drawer lip when pulled open. These labels are discreet yet easy to access. Fisher & Paykel ensures their durability so you can still identify your appliance even after years of use and cleaning cycles.
