Appliance Spares
Quick answer: Every appliance has a sticker with the model number, and it is never on the front. Washing machines: inside the door rim or on the back. Dryers: inside the door or behind the lint filter. Dishwashers: the edge of the door. Ovens: the frame behind the door, bottom or side. Fridges: a side wall inside the fridge section. Rangehoods: inside the grease filter. Photograph the whole sticker, type the model number into the search box on this site, and the parts that are listed for that model come up. The brand on the front and the serial number will not find a part.

Why the model number, not the brand
A brand makes dozens of machines that look the same from the front and share almost nothing inside. Two Samsung front loaders sold in the same year can take different door seals, different drain pumps and different suspension rods. The model number is the only thing on the appliance that ties it to the exact drawing the parts were made from. That is why every part on this site lists the models it covers, and why the rule for ordering is simple: the code on your sticker must appear in the listing title.
The sticker also carries a serial number, a date code and sometimes a product number. Those identify your individual machine and its production batch, which matters for a warranty claim but not for a part. If a listing asks for a second code, it will say so.
Where the sticker is, by appliance
| Appliance | Look here first | Then here | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front load washer | Inside the door opening, on the rim or the frame around the seal | Back panel, top left or right | Open the door fully and look at the painted metal around the rubber, not the rubber itself |
| Top load washer | Under the lid, on the rim of the tub opening | Back panel near the inlet hoses | A torch helps; the sticker is often white on white |
| Dryer | Inside the door, on the frame | Behind the lint filter, or on the back | Wall-mounted dryers: the sticker is usually at the bottom edge of the door frame |
| Dishwasher | Edge of the door, visible with the door open | Side of the tub near the top | Integrated machines keep it on the door edge; pull the door out before looking |
| Oven | Frame behind the door, along the bottom or one side | Inside the storage drawer or on the side trim | Freestanding stoves: open the drawer and look at the frame above it |
| Cooktop | Underside, visible from the cupboard below | Inside the manual | Induction and ceramic tops have it printed on the underside casing |
| Fridge and freezer | Inside the fridge section, on a side wall or the ceiling | Just inside the door frame, or the back | Pull out the top crisper drawer; the sticker is often behind it |
| Rangehood | Inside the body, behind the grease filter | Top of the canopy | Drop the filter, wipe the grease, then read it |
| Microwave | Back panel | Inside the door frame | Built-in units: the sticker is on the trim behind the door |
What a model number looks like for each brand
Model numbers follow a pattern per brand, and knowing the pattern tells you when you have the right code and not the serial. These are the common Australian shapes.
| Brand | Shape of the model number | Example on the sticker | What to ignore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung | Two letters, digits, letters, often ending /SA | WW85K6410QX/SA | The long serial under it; keep the /SA, it tells us the Australian version |
| LG | Letters and digits, sometimes with a dot suffix | WTG1434BHF | Anything after the dot is colour and does not change the part |
| Bosch | E-Nr: three letters, five digits, two letters, slash, two digits | WAW28460AU/01 | FD number is the production date; read the Bosch model number guide for the slash digits |
| Fisher & Paykel and Haier | Two to four letters, digits, one or two letters, digit | WH8560P3, HWF85AN1 | The product code in brackets beside it is the one we list first when both are shown |
| Electrolux, Westinghouse, Simpson, Dishlex | Three or four letters, four digits, sometimes a letter and star | EWF14822, WSF6605XR | PNC is the product number; the Electrolux model number guide shows where it sits |
| Hisense | Letters, digits, letters | HWFS8014, HR6TFF459 | Skip the SKU barcode number beside it |
| Beko | Three letters and five digits | WMY7046LB2 | Ignore the code starting 71 under the barcode |
| Euromaid, Esatto, Stirling, Solt | Short letters and digits, two to seven characters | E14DWX, GGSFLW900B | Store brands reuse a maker’s number, so include every character |
Sticker faded, painted over or missing
Try these in order. First, the manual or the receipt, which both carry the model. Second, the original box or the warranty card if either survived. Third, photograph the sticker and open the photo on a bright screen; a faded thermal sticker often reads better zoomed in than in the laundry light. Fourth, look for a second sticker, because many machines carry one inside the door and one on the back. If all four fail, send a clear photo of the whole sticker and the machine through the contact page and we work from the serial and the part itself.
Once you have the number, these are the parts people look up
Each row shows one commonly searched part and the models on the sticker the listing covers, so you can see what a matched listing looks like.

Reading the listing once you search
Type the model number into the search box exactly as printed, without spaces. The results show every part that lists that model. If nothing comes up, try the first six characters, because some listings group a family of models under the shared stem. When the listing title shows your model, the part is matched; when the title shows a near miss, send the sticker photo and we check it against the maker’s drawing before you pay. That check is free and takes less time than a return.
When to stop and call a licensed repairer
Finding the model number is safe on every appliance, but reading a sticker is as far as some jobs should go. Gas cooktops and ovens, hard-wired appliances, and anything that trips the safety switch belong with a licensed repairer, and so does any repair where the sticker is behind a panel that exposes mains wiring.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the model number on a washing machine?
Front loaders: inside the door opening on the painted rim around the seal, or on the back panel. Top loaders: under the lid on the rim of the tub opening. It is a sticker, not a printed badge, and it is never on the front panel.
Is the model number the same as the serial number?
No. The model number identifies the design and is shared by every machine of that type. The serial number is unique to your machine. Parts are matched by the model number; the serial only matters for warranty.
What if the sticker is faded?
Photograph it and zoom in on a bright screen, check for a second sticker on the back or inside the door, then the manual, receipt or box. If none of those work, send a photo of the sticker and the machine through the contact page.
Do I need the full model number or just the first part?
Search with the full code first. If nothing comes up, the first six characters usually reach the model family. Always compare the full code against the listing title before you order, because the last letters often change the colour only, but sometimes they change the part.
Can I find my appliance model number online from the serial?
Some makers can look a serial up on their support line, but the sticker is faster. The serial alone does not identify parts on this site or anywhere else.
Why does the listing show a different brand to my machine?
Because many brands share a maker. Westinghouse, Simpson, Dishlex and Electrolux parts cross over, as do Fisher & Paykel and Haier, and store brands such as Euromaid and Esatto use parts from larger makers. The model list in the title is what counts, not the brand name.
