ToftThis covers GE, General Electric, Hotpoint, GE Profile, Cafe, Monogram, RCA. The serial number is on a sticker inside the fridge on a side wall, in the washer or dryer door frame, or on the oven frame behind the drawer.
Two letters, then six digits, then usually one more letter. The first letter is the month and the second is the year. GE uses only 12 letters, in this order: A, D, F, G, H, L, M, R, S, T, V, Z. A is January and Z is December. The year letters start again every 12 years, so one serial can mean several years. The owner's manual or the unit's condition usually settles it.
Example: VZ902110G was made in November 1988 or November 2000 or November 2012 or November 2024.
This is the date the unit was made. It was usually installed soon after, but it can be later. If a serial doesn’t fit any of these patterns, look on the label for a printed manufacture date.
