Bosch washing-machine model number

Finding the correct Bosch washing machine model number is the key to ordering the right spare parts — whether you need a pump, door seal, motor brushes, or a control board. Bosch machines use a specific model identification format, and once you know where to look, it only takes a few seconds.

Where to Find Bosch washing-machine model number

Below are the three most common places Bosch place their model and E‑NR numbers. Each section starts with a Guided Link so you can jump deeper into any part of the process.

Inside the Door Frame

Open the washing machine door and look around the inner rim of the door frame. Bosch often places a silver or white rating plate sticker here. You’ll see:

  • E‑NR number (e.g., WAE24460GB/23)
  • FD number
  • Serial number

This is the most reliable location on modern Bosch models.

Behind the Door Seal

If the sticker isn’t on the frame, gently pull back the rubber door seal and check the metal lip behind it. Some Bosch models hide the label here to protect it from wear.

On the Rear Panel

Older Bosch washing machines often have the rating plate on the back of the appliance. You’ll find it on a metal plate or sticker near the bottom corner.

What the Bosch Model Number Looks Like

Bosch uses a structured format. The two key numbers you need are:

  • E‑NR (Model Number) — e.g., WAN28201GB/05
  • FD Number — used to identify production year

These numbers ensure you order the correct genuine or compatible spare parts.

Why the Model Number Matters

Every Bosch washing machine has variations in:

  • Drum design
  • Pump type
  • Heating element size
  • Door seal shape
  • PCB and control modules

Ordering parts without the correct E‑NR number often leads to incorrect parts, delays, and returns.
