It belongs to the 800 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 This is the tier where the mineral drying chamber appears, which is why a drop in drying performance on one of these is worth looking at rather than accepting — it has something to lose that an entry-series machine does not. ### 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.
