On the data plate, usually inside the fresh food compartment near the top or behind the upper drawer; on undercounter and outdoor units it is often behind the grille. Photograph the whole plate — the letters after the three digits decide which parts fit. Judging by what its owners search for: dishwasher not draining, dishwasher not filling, and dishwasher wont start. Each of those has a page explaining the likely causes and what to check before booking anything. No. Capacity, dimensions, configuration and production years are not something we can verify, and a plausible-looking table of them would be invention rather than information.
