Where is the model number on a freezer?
Chest and upright freezers place their tags either inside the storage area or on the outer cabinet. The numbered spots below cover both — start inside, then move to the exterior panels if you come up empty.

Chest and upright models may use different locations.
- 1 On the inner surface of the lid or door.

- 3 Low on one of the outer side panels.
- 4 On the rear panel of the cabinet.

Before you start
Work quickly with the lid or door open so the food stays frozen. If frost covers the tag, wipe it gently with a dry towel instead of scraping.
- Move baskets or stacked food for a moment if they block the inner wall.
- Leave a few inches of space when you pull the freezer out to reach the back panel.
- Save a photo of the label on your phone for future repairs.
FAQ
The tag inside my freezer is covered in ice. What should I do?
Check the outer side and back panels first — many freezers carry a second label there.
Do chest and upright freezers use the same parts?
No. Gaskets, thermostats and baskets are model-specific, so always search by the full model number.
