Appliance Spares
Quick answer: On most Electrolux front loader washing machines the model sticker sits inside the door rim, visible as soon as you swing the door open. Dryers carry it around the drum opening, fridges keep it inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall or behind the crisper bin, and dishwashers print it on the edge of the door where it is hidden when the door is closed. Whichever appliance you own, the sticker lists three codes: the model (EWF1074 style), a PNC and a serial number. The PNC pins down the exact production variant of your appliance, which makes it the fastest route to the right part. If you would rather not decode anything, photo the model sticker and send it through the Oz Appliance Spares Part Finder.

Why the model number is non-negotiable
Electrolux appliances are designed to look calm and consistent, and that consistency hides a lot of engineering change. A front loader from one production run can be visually identical to the one that replaced it, while the drum bearings, door seal, drain pump or control board underneath were revised along the way. Order a part by matching the photo on a listing to the machine in your laundry and you are gambling on the one thing the eye cannot see.
This is where Electrolux differs from most brands: the model name alone is sometimes not enough. A model that stays on sale for several years can exist in more than one production variant, each with its own parts list. Electrolux tracks those variants with a PNC, printed on the same sticker as the model and serial. Record all three codes, or better still photograph the sticker, and the guesswork disappears.
Where to look — by appliance type
Grab your phone before you start looking, because a photo beats a scribbled note every time. The spots below cover most Electrolux appliances sold in Australia. If you are hunting stickers on other brands around the house as well, our guide to finding any appliance model number covers every appliance type in one place.
Where the model sticker is on an Electrolux appliance
| Appliance | Where the model sticker is |
|---|---|
| Washing machine (front loader) | Inside the door rim with the door open, or on the cabinet face inside the door swing. |
| Washing machine (top loader) | Under the lid, on the rim of the tub opening, or on the back panel. |
| Dryer | On the rim of the drum opening, on the inner face of the door, or on the back panel. |
| Fridge and freezer | Inside the fresh food compartment, on a side wall, or beside the crisper bin. |
| Dishwasher | On the side edge of the door, on the top edge of the door, or on the inner door panel. |
Washing machines
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Inside the door rim (front loaders) | Open the door and check the surround of the drum opening, usually near the 3 or 9 o’clock position. This is the standard spot on most EWF-series machines. |
| Cabinet face inside the door swing | Some models place the sticker on the front panel itself, in the recess that is covered when the door is shut. |
| Under the lid (top loaders) | Lift the lid and check the rim of the tub opening or the underside of the lid. |
| Rear panel | Most machines carry a duplicate data plate on the back of the cabinet, useful if the front sticker has worn away. |
Dryers
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Rim of the drum opening | Open the door and run your eye around the opening. On most models the sticker sits on the lower half of the rim. |
| Inner face of the door | Some models print the data plate on the back of the door itself. |
| Rear panel | Usually duplicated on the back of the cabinet, though a wall-mounted dryer will need to come down before you can read it. |
Fridges and freezers
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Side wall of the fresh food compartment | Check at about crisper height first. This is the most common spot on Electrolux fridges. |
| Behind or beside the crisper bin | On some models you need to slide the crisper out to reveal the sticker on the wall behind it. |
| Near the internal control panel | A few models tuck the sticker close to the temperature controls inside the compartment. |
| Door jamb area | Occasionally the sticker sits on the frame that the door closes against. Check both sides. |
Dishwashers
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Side edge of the door | Open the door halfway and inspect the narrow left or right edge. Most models carry the sticker here. |
| Top edge of the door | Some models print it along the top edge instead, visible only while the door is partly open. |
| Inner door panel | On a few models the sticker sits on the inside face of the door, near a corner. |
What an Electrolux model number looks like
An Electrolux model is a compact alphanumeric code. Washing machine models in the style of EWF1074 or EWF1282 are typical: the letters identify the product family and the digits pin the specific model. On the sticker the model is usually the shortest of the printed codes, so it is easy to spot once you know what you are looking for. Copy it exactly, including any letters at the end, because every character narrows the parts search.
The code that sets Electrolux stickers apart is the PNC, short for product number code. While the model names the product line, the PNC identifies the exact production variant of your individual appliance. Electrolux revises parts during a model’s life, and each revision can be tracked under its own PNC, so two machines with the same model on the front can be matched to different parts lists. That makes the PNC the single most valuable code on the sticker when you are ordering parts. On most stickers it is printed directly alongside the model and is clearly labelled PNC.
The third code is the serial number, and it pays to keep the three straight. The model says what the appliance is, the PNC ties your unit to an exact parts list, and the serial identifies your individual machine, mostly confirming details such as when it was built. Parts are matched on the model and PNC. Rather than deciding which code matters on the day, photograph the whole sticker once and you have all three forever.
How to read an Electrolux model number
| Prefix | What it identifies |
|---|---|
| EWF | Front loader washing machine, as in EWF1074 |
| EDV | Vented dryer |
| EDH | Heat pump dryer |
| ESF, ESL | Dishwasher |
Electrolux stickers carry a model, a PNC and a serial number. The model names the product line, the PNC, short for product number code, identifies the exact production variant, and the serial identifies your individual appliance. Parts are matched on the model and the PNC, so record both.
Sticker unreadable or missing?
Stickers age faster than the appliances they are stuck to. Door-rim stickers on washers get wiped and scrubbed, dishwasher door edges live in steam and detergent, and fridge stickers can lift at the corners after years of cold and condensation. If yours is faded, creased or half gone, photograph it anyway. A phone camera at close range often resolves print the naked eye cannot, and even a partial model or PNC is frequently enough to identify the machine.
Send whatever you can capture through the Part Finder and we will work with what is legible. If the sticker is missing entirely, photograph the failed part itself from a couple of angles, including any numbers stamped or printed on it. It is also worth digging out the original receipt or the instruction manual, because on most purchases at least one of them records the exact model.

FAQ
What is the PNC on an Electrolux appliance?
PNC stands for product number code. It is the identifier Electrolux uses to track the exact production variant of each appliance, separate from the model name. Because one model can be linked to more than one variant over its life, the PNC is often the fastest and most accurate route to the right part.
Do I need the PNC as well as the model number?
For the fastest match, yes. The model narrows the search to a product line, and the PNC pins your machine to a single parts list. Both are printed on the same model sticker, so photographing the sticker once captures everything needed.
Where is the model number on an Electrolux dishwasher?
Open the door halfway and check the narrow side edge of the door first, then the top edge. On most models the sticker sits on one of those two edges and is completely hidden when the door is closed. A few models place it on the inside face of the door instead.
Where is the model number on an Electrolux fridge?
On most models it is inside the fresh food compartment, on a side wall at about crisper height. If the walls look bare, slide the crisper bin out and check behind it. Photograph the sticker rather than copying the codes by hand.
What is the difference between the serial number and the PNC?
The PNC identifies the production variant of your appliance and links it to a specific parts list, while the serial number identifies your individual unit and mostly confirms details such as the production period. Parts are matched on the model and PNC. Keep a photo of the whole sticker and all three codes stay on hand.
Where is the model number on an Electrolux front loader washing machine?
Inside the door rim with the door open, or on the cabinet face inside the door swing. The sticker carries the model, the PNC and the serial number together.
Where is the model number on an Electrolux dryer?
On the rim of the drum opening with the door open. Some models print it on the inner face of the door, and the back panel carries a duplicate sticker.
Where is the model number on an Electrolux top loader washing machine?
Under the lid, on the rim of the tub opening. A duplicate model sticker sits on the back panel of the cabinet.
