Microwaves
Most microwaves have their serial and model numbers either behind their door, on the front of the unit, on their side control panel, inside on the upper left-hand side or on the back of the unit.
Refrigerators
Refrigerators typically have model numbers on the doorjamb of their cabinet on the inside, along their inside wall in either the refrigerator or freezer area or behind their kick plate on the bottom of the unit.
Range/Stove/Oven
You can find most range/stove/oven model numbers by looking underneath their fuse cover on top, on the right-hand side of their burner box, underneath their burner, in the lower left-hand corner of their inside cabinet, on the outside bottom of their cabinet, in the lower drawer doorjamb when the drawer is open or in the upper left-hand corner of their cabinet.
Dishwashers
Dishwasher model numbers are generally found on the underside of the control panel, in the upper left-hand corner of the frame, on the left, right or center of the doorjamb or along the left, right and center of the inside of their door.
Dryers
You should be able to find the model number on your dryer by looking at its cabinet frame (inside the door), on its cabinet side near the front or on the back of your unit in the upper left-hand corner.
