How do I find a label on my clothes washer?

Finding the label on your clothes washer that contains important information like the model number, serial number, and manufacturing details is quite straightforward. The exact location can vary depending on the brand and model of your washer. Here are some common places to look:

• Inside the Door or on the Door Frame: Often, manufacturers place the label on the inside of the washer's door or along the frame where the door closes. This is one of the first places you should check.
• The Back of the Washer: If you don't find the label inside the door, the next place to check is the back of the machine. This may require you to move the washer slightly away from the wall. Be cautious to avoid disconnecting any hoses or cords.
• On the Side Panels: Some washers may have the label on one of the side panels, towards the front where it might be easier to see when you lean the machine slightly.
• Under the Lid: For top-loading washers, the label might be under the lid, either in the center or on one side near the back.
• Near the Bottom Front: In some cases, especially for front-load washers, the label can be found near the bottom of the front panel.

Remember, the label is usually a metal or plastic plate or a sticker that contains several pieces of critical information.
