AO Smith Motor Model Number: Where to Look

AO Smith water heater model information is typically printed on the data plate or rating label on the side of the tank, often near the upper front area. On some units, you may need to remove an access panel to see the label. Record the complete model number, including letters, numbers, and hyphens, and keep it separate from the serial number. Type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit, including the motor and other associated parts. Using the full model number helps match the entire water heater accurately, so you spend less time comparing specifications and get the repair moving sooner.
