Have your appliance model number ready

To help keep the world of home appliances organized, appliance repair manufacturers add model numbers to each of their products. This makes life for appliance repair technicians a lot easier, since they can focus in on the specific design of that particular appliance. It also helps keep the repair costs and time down for the customer.
