To find the model number of a front-loading Whirlpool washing machine, you can look at the inside of the door, where there should be a small sticker. This sticker will have the model number. The sticker may also be found on the front of the machine in the groove that the door closes into. For the model number of a top-loading washing machine, the sticker can be found on the rim of the machine, under the lid. It may also be on the top of the machine, on the back near the top, or on a side near the bottom of the washer. This video from Repair Clinic has visual aids that can help clarify where the model number can be found on either type of washing machine. Once you find this model number, you can enter it into the Repair Clinic website for a list of parts that will be compatible with your washing machine.
