Quick answer: On most Westinghouse top loader washing machines the model sticker is under the lid, while front loaders carry it inside the door rim. Fridges have it inside the fresh food compartment, usually on a side wall or behind the crisper bin. Ovens and stoves place it around the oven door frame, visible once the door is open, and dishwashers carry it on the edge of the door. The sticker lists three things: the model (WSF6608 or WHE6000SB style), a PNC and a serial number, and the PNC is often the fastest route to the exact part. To skip the decoding, photo the model sticker and send it through the Oz Appliance Spares Part Finder.

Why the model number is non-negotiable
Westinghouse has been in Australian kitchens and laundries for generations, and its designs are deliberately consistent. That is exactly what makes ordering parts on looks alone risky. A white fridge, a freestanding stove or a dishwasher can stay visually unchanged from one model update to the next while the door seals, elements, pumps and racks underneath change completely. Two machines that look the same in the kitchen can need different parts on the bench.
Westinghouse is also an Electrolux-platform brand, and appliances on that platform are tracked by more than the name on the front. The same model name can be linked to more than one production variant, which is why the sticker carries a PNC alongside the model and serial. Record all three and the guesswork stops before it starts.
Where to look — by appliance type
Have your phone ready and photograph the sticker the moment you find it. The locations below cover most Westinghouse appliances sold in Australia, and if you are chasing stickers on other brands too, our guide to finding any appliance model number covers the lot.
Washing machines
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Under the lid (top loaders) | Lift the lid and check the rim of the tub opening or the underside of the lid itself. This is the standard spot on most top loaders. |
| Inside the door rim (front loaders) | Open the door and check the surround, usually near the 3 or 9 o’clock position. |
| Rear panel | Most machines carry a duplicate data plate on the back of the cabinet. |
Dryers
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Inside the door opening | Open the door and check the rim of the drum opening. Most models place the sticker here. |
| Inner face of the door | Some models print it on the back of the door itself. |
| Rear panel | Usually duplicated on the back of the cabinet. |
Fridges and freezers
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Inside the fresh food compartment | Check the side walls first. On most models the sticker sits at about crisper height. |
| Behind or beside the crisper bin | Slide the crisper out on some models and the sticker is on the wall behind it. |
| Near the internal controls | A few models place it close to the temperature control panel inside the compartment. |
Ovens and stoves
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Around the oven door frame | Open the door fully and check the trim on either side of the cavity opening. This is the usual spot on most built-in ovens. |
| Behind the storage drawer (freestanding) | On many freestanding stoves, pull the lower drawer right out and the sticker is on the frame behind it. |
| Lower frame edge | Some models place it along the bottom edge of the frame, hidden while the door is closed. |
| Rear panel | Usually duplicated on the back, but the appliance has to be moved to see it. Leave that one to a technician. |
Dishwashers
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Side edge of the door | Open the door halfway and look at the narrow edge on the left or right side. This is where most models carry the sticker. |
| 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 | Occasionally the sticker sits on the inside face of the door itself. |
What a Westinghouse model number looks like
A Westinghouse model is a short alphanumeric code starting with W. Numbers in the style of WSF6608 or WHE6000SB are typical: the letters identify the product family, the digits pin the specific model, and many models add a letter suffix on the end. Copy the suffix too, because it is part of the model. On the sticker the model is usually the shortest of the three printed codes.
Next to it, most Westinghouse stickers show a PNC, short for product number code. This is the Electrolux platform’s own identifier, and it points at the exact production variant of your appliance rather than just the model line. A model that stays on sale for several years can be linked to more than one PNC as parts are revised along the way, so the PNC is often the fastest route to the exact part. If you only write down one extra code from the sticker, make it this one.
The third code is the serial number, and it is worth being clear about the difference. The model tells you what the appliance is, the PNC ties your unit to an exact parts list, and the serial identifies your individual machine. Parts are matched on the model and PNC; the serial mostly confirms unit-level detail such as the production period. The safest habit is to photograph the whole sticker so all three codes are captured in a single shot.
Sticker unreadable or missing?
Model stickers live hard lives. Dishwasher door edges sit in steam and rinse aid, stove stickers collect grease, and laundry stickers get scrubbed until the ink fades. If yours is faded, greasy or half peeled, photograph it anyway. A phone camera often picks up more than the naked eye, and even a partial model or PNC is frequently enough to identify the appliance.
Send the photo through the Part Finder and we will work with whatever is legible. If the sticker is gone completely, photograph the failed part itself from a couple of angles, including any numbers printed or stamped on it. The original receipt and the instruction manual are also worth checking, because both usually record exactly which model you bought.
Got the model number? Find the part
With the model and PNC in hand, you have three quick routes to the right part:
- Enter the model into the Find Your Model tool to jump straight to parts matched to your appliance.
- Not sure what you are reading on the sticker? Send a photo through the Part Finder quiz and we will identify it for you.
- Browse the full range in our Westinghouse parts search.

FAQ
What is the PNC on a Westinghouse appliance?
PNC stands for product number code. It is the identifier used across the Electrolux platform that Westinghouse belongs to, and it pins down the exact production variant of your appliance. Because a single model name can be linked to more than one variant, the PNC is often the fastest route to the exact part.
Is the PNC the same as the model number?
No. The model, such as WSF6608, identifies the product line, while the PNC identifies the exact production variant of your unit. Both are printed on the same model sticker, so quote both when ordering parts and there is nothing left to guess.
Where is the model number on a Westinghouse fridge?
On most models it is inside the fresh food compartment, on a side wall at about crisper height. Some fridges tuck it behind the crisper bin, so slide the bin out if the walls look bare. Photograph the sticker rather than copying it by hand.
Why does my Westinghouse sticker look like an Electrolux one?
Westinghouse is an Electrolux-platform brand in Australia, so its data plates follow the platform layout, including the PNC and serial number. That is normal and it works in your favour, because the PNC makes exact parts matching much faster.
Do I need the serial number to order parts?
Usually the model and PNC are enough to identify the right part. The serial number identifies your individual unit and can help confirm details like the production period. The simplest approach is to photograph the whole model sticker so all three codes are on hand if they are needed.
