Step 1 · Locate the Water Heater's Data Plate

First, you must find the manufacturer's data plate on your water heater. This is typically a large sticker, often silver or white, located on the upper half of the tank's side. It contains a wealth of information, including the model number, capacity, and the crucial serial number. If the water heater is in a dark closet or basement, use a flashlight to illuminate the area and make the sticker easier to find and read. Be thorough, as it may be facing a wall, requiring you to carefully look all around the unit.
