It belongs to the 300 Series, which is where its parts and its features come from. ### What we are called out for on it ### The thing worth knowing about this one Front controls mean the display is visible without opening the door, so a code on this one is easier to photograph than on a fully integrated machine — where you have to open the door and the cycle may clear it as you do. ### Where the model number is On the door edge of a dishwasher, visible when the door is open. On the inner frame of a refrigerator, usually behind a drawer. On the door collar or behind the filter flap on laundry. A photograph of the plate is enough — it tells us the series, the configuration and which parts fit, before anyone drives anywhere.
