How to Identify Important Appliance Details:
If you need to schedule an appointment for your washer or dryer, you should obtain as much information as possible about your appliance prior to calling a repair service provider. The more information you have ready to submit to your repair company of choice, the easier you will be able to schedule an appointment for an initial diagnostic, and the smoother the repair process will go overall. These are some examples of what details you should have on-hand when booking a repair appointment:
Washing Machines:
- Brand name
- Model number
- Serial number
- Door placement on the unit (topload or frontload)
- Position of the adjacent dryer relative to the washer (stacked, side-by-side, or combination unit)
- Accessibility of the unit
- Whether or not the unit is coin-operated
Dryers:
- Brand name
- Model number
- Serial number
- Position of the adjacent washer relative to the dryer (stacked, side-by-side, or combination unit)
- Fuel source for the unit (gas or electric)
- Accessibility of the unit
- Whether or not the unit is coin-operated
Sounds like a lot of details to cover, right? Don’t worry, because here’s how you can typically identify some of the less-noticeable pieces of relevant information on your own:
Washing Machine Door Placement
- If the appliance’s door opens forward to the left or right, it’s a frontloading washer. If it opens upward towards the back of the unit, then it’s a toploading washer. Please also note that stacked washers and dryers will always be frontloading units.
Model and Serial Number
- For frontloading washers and dryers, there is typically a sticker containing both of these numbers located on the inside rim of the appliance’s door. For toploading washing machines, the sticker may be located on the underside of the door. Otherwise, it may be on the back of the appliance itself.
Dryer Fuel Source
- In order to determine this, inspect the connections on the back of the dryer. If there is thin, flexible metal tubing connected to the back of the dryer that leads to a metal valve (in addition to the unit’s power cord and duct vent), the unit is likely gas-powered. If it has no such tubing attached to the unit, it is likely powered electrically.
