How to Find a Model Number on a Cooker Or Built-In Oven

Your oven’s model number allows engineers to:

• Identify the correct components

• Diagnose faults more accurately

• Bring the right replacement parts on the first visit

• Ensure compatibility with manufacturer specifications

• Locate and view your appliance
• Give advice when comuincating with the customer

Common Places to Find Oven Model Number

Most built-in ovens hide the model label in a few predictable locations. Check the following areas carefully.

1. Inside the Door Frame

Open the oven door fully and inspect the inner frame. Many manufacturers place the data plate:

• Along the left-hand or right-hand side of the cavity

• On the top edge of the frame

The label is usually a small metallic or white sticker.

2. Behind the Oven Door Seal

Gently pull back the rubber door seal around the oven opening. Some brands hide the model sticker underneath the seal, especially on built-in units.

3. On the Oven Cavity Rim

Look around the rim of the oven cavity, particularly near the hinges. The model number may be printed or engraved on a slim plate.

4. On the Control Panel Edge

For certain models, the label sits on the side of the control panel, only visible when the door is open.

5. Under the Hob (If Combined Unit)

If your oven is part of a built-in cooker with a hob above it, the model plate may be located:

• Under the hob surface

• On the top panel of the oven, accessible only when the oven is pulled out

How To Find Oven Model Number

and what it might look like

A model number typically includes:

• A combination of letters and numbers (e.g., HBN331E1B, OB60SD11PX1)

• A serial number (longer numeric code)

Manufacturers may label it as:

• Model

• Model No.

• Prod No.

• E-Nr (Bosch/Neff/Siemens)

• PNC (AEG/Electrolux/Zanussi)

Different brands follow different conventions. Here are some common examples:

• Bosch / Neff / Siemens — Look for an E-Nr sticker inside the door frame.

• Hotpoint / Indesit — Often found behind the door seal or on the cavity lip.

• AEG / Electrolux / Zanussi — Check for a PNC number on the frame or behind the seal.

• Beko — Usually on the left-hand inner frame.

• Smeg — Often on the cavity rim or behind the door.

If You Still Can’t Find Oven Model Number

If the label is worn, missing, or inaccessible:

• Take a clear photo of the oven front

• Note any visible branding or design features

• Check your user manual or purchase receipt
