To find the model number of a Kitchenaid dishwasher, follow these steps:
- Check the owner's manual as it usually indicates the model number's location.
- Look on the inner door panel or along the edges for an identification sticker or plate.
- If the above steps are unsuccessful, remove the bottom front panel to check the frame for the model number.
If you cannot locate the model number, contact Kitchenaid customer support for help using the dishwasher's registered details or a description of the product.
Check the Owner's Manual
The owner's manual for your Kitchenaid dishwasher contains instructions for finding the model number. You need this number to order parts, solve problems, or get support. The manual, included with your dishwasher, shows how to find your dishwasher's model number.
Inside the manual, there's a section with product details and identification, including diagrams showing the model number's location. Usually, the model and serial numbers are on a sticker or plate inside the dishwasher's door or on the inner tub wall, keeping them safe from damage.
The manual also explains the model number's meaning, detailing the appliance's series, design, and features.
If you don't have the manual, you can download it from the manufacturer's website by searching for your model number. This provides access to support for your Kitchenaid dishwasher.
Inspect the Door Area
To locate the model number of a Kitchenaid dishwasher, inspect the door area. Manufacturers typically place identification tags where they are protected from damage. The dishwasher door area, less affected by water and detergent, often has a sticker or plate with the model information.
Open the dishwasher door and look at the edges for a sticker or plate on the top, left, or right sides. If you don't find the model number there, check the inner wall of the tub, particularly the right side wall, for any etched or printed text.
The area near the control panel is also worth checking. Some Kitchenaid dishwashers have the model number near the control panel on the front of the door.
For drawer-style dishwashers, check behind the top drawer.
The location of the model number can differ between models, so if it's not immediately visible, continue to examine each area closely.
Look Under the Sink
Check under the sink for the model number sticker on your KitchenAid dishwasher. It may be on the upper edge of the dishwasher door or on either side. The model number, a mix of letters and numbers, is vital for parts, service, and support. Ensure good lighting when looking for it, possibly using a flashlight. Clearing items from under the sink can improve access and visibility.
If not on the door's edge, the model number might be inside the tub, often on the right side, or behind the top drawer in drawer-style models. Pull the drawer out to check.
If the model number isn't on the dishwasher, consult the user manual or paperwork that came with the appliance. If those aren't available, visit KitchenAid's website or contact their customer support for help. KitchenAid provides instructions for finding model numbers in various locations.
Search the Dishwasher Frame
To locate your KitchenAid dishwasher's model number, check the frame around the door perimeter or inside the door panel where the label is usually located. This label contains the model number, which is essential for identifying the appliance's manufacturing details and technical specifications. The serial number is also found here and is important for services, parts, and support.
Manufacturers often place these labels on the dishwasher frame for accessibility and protection from daily use. To find the model number, fully open the dishwasher door and look at the edges where the door connects to the body of the dishwasher. The label should be visible in this area.
For some KitchenAid dishwashers, the model number might be on the inner tub wall, typically on the right side. If you have a drawer-style dishwasher, pull out the top drawer completely as the number may be behind it. Labels can wear out over time, so inspect them carefully. If the label is still readable, you can use a smartphone to scan it and quickly access important information about your dishwasher.
