Finding Your Hotpoint Appliance Model and Serial Number: A Step-by-Step Guide

Identifying the model and serial number of your Hotpoint appliance is crucial for ordering the correct spare parts, registering your product, or requesting service. These numbers provide essential information about your specific appliance, allowing for accurate identification and support. This guide will walk you through the various locations where you can typically find these details on different Hotpoint appliances.

Why Do You Need These Numbers?

The model number identifies the specific type and version of your appliance. The serial number, on the other hand, is unique to your individual appliance, like a fingerprint. It helps track the appliance’s manufacturing date and history. Having both numbers on hand is essential when contacting customer service or ordering replacement parts.

Where to Look:

The location of the model and serial number varies depending on the type of Hotpoint appliance. Here’s a breakdown for common appliance categories:

Washing Machines, Tumble Dryers, Washer Dryers:

  1. Door Frame: Look around the inside of the door frame, often on a sticker or a metal plate.
  2. Back Panel: On some models, the information might be on a sticker or plate on the back panel. (Note: Accessing the back panel might require some disassembly – if you’re unsure, it’s best to consult a qualified technician.)

Refrigerators, Freezers, Fridge Freezers:

  1. Inside the Fridge Compartment: Look on the side walls or the ceiling of the fridge compartment, often on a sticker.
  2. Behind the Crisper Drawer: Sometimes, the label is hidden behind the crisper drawer at the bottom of the fridge.
  3. Back of the Appliance: As with washing machines, some models may have the information on the back.

Ovens, Hobs, Cookers:

  1. Oven Door Frame: Check the frame of the oven door, similar to washing machines.
  2. Inside the Oven Cavity: Look on the sides or top inside the oven itself.
  3. Underside of the Hob: For hobs, the information is often located underneath the hob surface. (Caution: Disconnect the power before attempting to access this area.)

Dishwashers:

  1. Inside the Dishwasher Door: Check the inside edge of the dishwasher door.
  2. Side Panels: Some dishwashers have the label on one of the side panels.

Microwaves:

  1. Inside the Microwave Cavity: Look on the side wall or the top inside the microwave.
  2. Back of the Microwave: The information may also be on a label on the back.

Vacuum Cleaners:

  2. Near the Power Cord: Sometimes, the label is located near where the power cord enters the appliance.

Coffee Machines:

  1. Bottom of the Machine: Turn the coffee machine upside down and check the bottom.
  2. Near the Water Tank: The label might be near the water tank or on the back.

Other Hotpoint Products:

For other Hotpoint products, such as small kitchen appliances or other home gadgets, the label is typically found:

  1. Bottom of the Appliance: This is the most common location.
  2. Near the Power Cord: Check the area where the power cord connects to the appliance.
  3. Product Packaging or Manual: If you still have the original packaging or manual, the model and serial number should be printed there.
