Where to Find Your Refrigerator Model Number
Refrigerator model numbers are located in one of these places:
- Inside the fresh food compartment — on the left wall or ceiling (most common)
- Behind the crisper drawers — on the back wall at the bottom
- On the door jamb — where the door meets the frame
- On the back of the unit — near the compressor (requires pulling out)
The model number is usually on a metal or paper sticker alongside the serial number. Look for a label that says "Model" or "Mod."
