Model Number Help
Where to look?
On the Front/Center/Bottom
On the Back/Right/Bottom
On the Bottom
As you can see you'll have to look at different locations on your machine to find the correct model number. But make sure it is the machine model number and not the Serial number or the Motor Model number.
DO NOT TAKE THE NUMBER OFF THE MOTOR! This is the model number for the motor only.
Tip:
A machine in a cabinet can have up to 3 different model numbers on it. The Cabinet model number, the motor model number and the machine model number. Always make sure to take the number on the machine and then go look at the list of available models. Even if your model isn't listed, the number should be relative to it.
Example (158.1231): Kenmore always has a two part model number. The first 3 numbers represent the machine Series. All number that follow that are the actual model number.
