Where to find appliance model number

Factory labels of manufacturers or nameplates are special plates that contain information about the model, serial number, power, dimensions of the device, and other characteristics. For example, blenders and mixers sticker can be in three places: at the bottom, on the back of the gearbox, or at the joint between the gear and the housing.

And for some types of appliances, marking plates are only at the bottom. There are:

food processors
kettles

For water heaters, the rating plate is most commonly located on the lower part of the unit or on the side. Less commonly, it can be found under the protective cover near the electrical connection area or next to the heating element flange.
