The joy of getting new appliances for your home is always exclusive. But, unfortunately, this joy can be cut short when you discover that the new device you are enthusiastic about is not new.

Therefore, it is essential to know the age of an appliance before buying it. So, you may ask, how can one find the age of a Whirlpool appliance?

The most accurate way to decipher the age of a whirlpool appliance is by checking the serial number. The serial number uses codes to communicate the month and year of manufacture, thus displaying the exact age. The second Alpha character usually signifies the year, while the 1st and 2nd digits identify the week of manufacture.

How Can I Tell How Old My Whirlpool Appliance Is?

The whirlpool serial number age tells you how old your whirlpool appliance is. It contains the week, the month, and the year the Whirlpool appliance was manufactured.

However, this is not the case for some Whirlpool appliances, as a different brand name under the company may be the manufacturer.

In such cases, the serial number will look different. If this is the case with your appliance, contact the company for any necessary information. 

When calculating from the week it was manufactured through the month and year, the serial number tells precisely how old your Whirlpool appliance is.

The serial number starts with letters that symbolize the place and year of manufacture. And then digits follow, indicating the week of the year.

The third to seventh digits represent the batch order of manufacture for the week.

By identifying the serial number and interpreting all the codes to get the details above, you can discover your Whirlpool appliance’s precise age.

The corresponding age is always correct unless you fail to understand the codes and then end up misinterpreting them.

You can find the serial number of a Whirlpool appliance in any one of the listed places: 

• The left-hand side of the attached product label. 
• The receipt of the appliance and the label behind the refrigerator (if the appliance in question is a refrigerator).
• And finally, the manufacturer’s guide.

Please note that different appliances may have other places where the labels are attached.

Model Number Vs. Serial Number (Which Is Best To Find Manufacture Date)?

The model number always gives a detailed description of an appliance’s manufactured place, using country codes.

It also indicates the model’s year of production and introduction to the market using an Alpha code. 

For pre-1981 models, the code is the second digit of the model number. In contrast, for post-1981 models, the code for the year of introduction is in the eighth digit.

In addition, it provides information about the manufacturers of a device.

Meanwhile, the serial number describes the actual manufacture date, starting from the batch order, and week to the year.

Once you have this information, you can always tell other details. For example, you can deduce the month using the week.

So, in terms of the manufacture date, it is best to use the serial number. Meanwhile, check the model number for the year the model was introduced.

Different brands of appliance manufacturers have different styles of writing model numbers. While some do not include letters in their model numbers, others do.

The same is the case with serial numbers, as some start with alphabets for some companies while others do not. 

However, no matter how the model or serial number is written, you can easily understand them.

For instance, Kenmore model numbers are written only in numbers and usually have prefixes.

It indicates the code number of a country that manufactured the appliance, and their serial numbers start with the alphabet.

Kenmore serial numbers with alphabets indicate the month the appliance was manufactured, making it easier to understand.

The latter is the best for identifying any machine’s manufacturing details between model and serial numbers.
