How to Find the Right Part by Model Number
By James Anderson
Order the wrong part and you've lost a day. The good news: identifying the right one takes about two minutes if you know where to look.
The short version: Find the data plate on your machine, note the model number and serial number, then match the part by its OEM part number — or send both to us and we'll confirm.
1. Find the data plate
Most commercial machines carry a metal or printed data plate. Common locations:
- Inside the front door or service panel
- On the rear or side of the cabinet
- Behind the kick panel on undercounter units
It lists the model number (e.g. IDT0420A) and a serial number.
2. Note the model and serial
The model number tells us the machine family; the serial number narrows down the production revision, which matters because some parts changed mid-run.
3. Cross-reference the part
Every genuine part has an OEM part number. On KE Parts Hub you can:
- Search by part number directly, or
- Browse by machine to see parts confirmed to fit your model.
4. Still not sure? Ask.
If the plate is missing or worn, photograph the old part and the machine and send it to us. We'll cross-reference it and confirm the correct genuine OEM part before you commit.
