Why You May Need Your Samsung TV Model or Serial Number

You’ll typically need this information when:

  • Registering your TV for warranty
  • Contacting Samsung support or a repair technician
  • Ordering the correct spare parts or accessories
  • Downloading firmware or software updates
  • Checking compatibility with mounts, remotes, or soundbars

Method 1: Find It Through the TV Menu (Easiest)

This is the fastest method if your TV is powered on and working.

Steps:

  1. Press the Home button on your Samsung remote
  2. Navigate to Settings (gear icon)
  3. Scroll down and select Support
  4. Click on About This TV
  5. Your Model Code and Serial Number will be displayed on screen

This works on most Samsung Smart TVs from 2016 onwards, including QLED, Neo QLED, The Frame, Crystal UHD, and OLED models.


Method 2: Check the Label on the Back of the TV

Every Samsung TV has a sticker attached to the rear panel.

Steps:

  1. Carefully look at the back of your TV
  2. Find the white or silver product label sticker
  3. Look for fields labelled:
    • Model No. or Model Code
    • Serial No. or S/N

📌 The label is usually located near the centre-bottom or bottom-right corner of the back panel.


Method 3: Check the Original Box or Packaging

If you still have the original packaging your Samsung TV came in:

  1. Look for the barcode sticker on the side or bottom of the box
  2. The sticker will clearly show:
    • Model Number
    • Serial Number
    • Manufacturing date and region code

Method 4: Use the Samsung SmartThings App

Ideal if your TV remote is lost or the screen is damaged.

Steps:

  1. Download the Samsung SmartThings app on your phone (available on Android & iOS)
  2. Ensure your phone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network
  3. Open the app and tap your TV device
  4. Go to More Options (⋮) → Information
  5. Your model and serial number will be listed there

Method 5: Check the e-Manual or Original Receipt
