Where the data plate is on a dishwasher

Open the door: the label is on the inner door edge or the side of the tub frame.

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 Dishwasher at 9 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.
