Model and Serial – Correct Part Request
Why are the model number and serial number of your appliance important?
The reasons are outlined below:
-
Warranty Verification
Manufacturers require the model and serial number when you make a warranty claim. Some appliances offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Always check your coverage when requesting warranty service. -
Recall or Rework Identification
Your appliance may be part of a safety recall or manufacturer rework. These notices are usually linked to the model and serial number. Registering your appliance after purchase ensures you receive important updates. -
Additional Technical Information
The identification tag may include extra details such as manufacturing year, power specifications, refrigerant type, and customer support information. These details help in proper diagnosis and servicing. -
Service & Parts Compatibility
Without the model and serial number tag, the manufacturer may refuse warranty service, and the technician may struggle to look up accurate parts or verify the correct version of your appliance. Never remove or discard the appliance identification sticker.
