When choosing a washing machine, you can easily compare different models on the LG website. However, if you already own a dryer, especially an older model, you may need to locate the model number. Perhaps you bought a home with an existing dryer and now need information about its model and serial number. This information becomes essential when assessing repairs, especially for dryers over 15 years old. Generally, if repair costs exceed 40-50% of a new unit’s price, replacing the dryer may be a more practical choice.
Where to Find the Label
The label’s location depends on the dryer type:
Secondary Label: Found under the loading door in front-loading models and under the lid in top-loading models. This smaller label displays the model and serial numbers.
Main Label: Typically located in a hard-to-reach spot at the back or on the side of the dryer. This label includes detailed information.
How to Identify Your Dryer’s Model and Serial Number Without an Information Sticker
Check Internal Components
The main circuit board may have a part number associated with specific dryer models. If you locate this number, it can help you determine the model of your dryer.
Look for QR Codes
On newer dryer models, QR codes often contain the model and serial numbers. Scan the code with your phone—it usually directs you to the LG website for product registration or a page with user manuals.
Search by External Features
Take clear pictures of your dryer and search for similar pictures online. You may find suitable images or descriptions that will help you identify your model. Tip: do not use only Google search, use alternative search engines pay attention to Bing, lately its search is more adequate.
