Where the data plate is on a microwave
Inside the door on the frame, or on the back or side of the cabinet.
General guidance, not brand-specific: the owner's manual or the installer can point to the exact spot. See the data plate guide.
For scale only: the InterNACHI Standard Estimated Life Expectancy Chart for Homes lists Microwave Oven at 9 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.

This site is a reference built from published tables. The manufacturer's own lookup wins whenever the two disagree.
What we could not confirm
- The era not stated format is only partially confirmed (PARTIAL).
- Only a third-party decoder (homespy) documents the 13-digit format; Danby's Warranty Look-Up (curl 200) takes a registration warranty number + postal code + last name, not a serial.
