How to Make Sure The Part Fits - How to Find Your Appliance Model Number

Don't guess — get the right part the first time. To be sure this part fits, first find your appliance’s model number tag (not the serial). Common spots: refrigerators—inside wall or ceiling; washers/dryers—inside the door/lid or door frame; ranges/ovens—frame behind the oven door or bottom drawer; dishwashers—door edge or tub lip; microwaves—door frame or back. Copy the model number exactly as printed (include letters, dashes, and suffixes), then match that exact model to the part you are looking for =)
