Decoding a Whirlpool model and serial number Down to Last automaticwasher.org's exclusive eBay Watch: scroll for more items Post# 523131 6/7/2011 at 12:26 (3,413 days old) by turquoisedude (Ogden & St-Liboire (where??), QC, Canada) Checkrate/Likes I am trying not to get too worked up about this, but I found an ad in the Hartford, CT area. While we don't know the specific model of your Fleck® water softener, the serial number can sometimes decode into the month and year of manufacture. That information, combined with a bit of product history, can tell us the possible models. Your model serial number is 1697619. Whirlpool, for example, would be Kenmore fridges that have 106, 110, 198, 562 or 665 as some of the three-digit prefixes in the serial number, but there may be more than that. Unfortunately, many lists of the manufacturer prefixes listed online are out-of-date.

Whirlpool Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits (often the first two digits) in the model number (sometimes, but not always) divisible by 6. Divide by 12 to convert to tons. Age: Date of manufacture information is encoded in the serial number where a letter indicates the decade and the third and fourth digits indicate the week.
You will need to write down the serial number from your model and serial tag. Example serial number: 55555572UY. 55555572UY - UY is the date code. The first letter is the year - U = 1998. The second letter is the month - Y = November. This appliance was made November of 1998. First letter is the year, second letter is the month.

When your air conditioner is not working properly, you will want to know what type of air conditioner you have. Most people do not know this information, especially if it has been a while since you bought the air conditioner or had it serviced. Cousin's Air, Inc. has NATE-certified service professionals that are friendly, knowledgeable, and can help you figure out what air conditioner you have by using the model number decoder. There isn’t a universal model number decoder since AC manufacturers uses different codes but the model number can tell you the capacity, tonnage, single/variable speed, voltage, refrigerant type, and brand name. Once we know what type of air conditioner you have, our expertly trained team of technicians will be able to diagnose and fix your problem.

How Can You Decode the Model Number on Air Conditioners?

Air conditioner manufacturers usually list how to decode the model number so that you will be able to know what type of coolant or refrigerant it takes, what size air filters it needs, and how much replacement parts are. You can also use the tonnage to figure out how much energy your air conditioner uses in BTUs and kilowatt hours. Here is an example of a Trane brand air conditioner and how to use its air conditioner model decoder:

Trane Brand Air Conditioner:

Capacity:Tranehas used a number of different methods for encoding capacity information in the model number. It is commonly found in the first three digits – sometimes as BTUs and sometimes as tons.

Example:

SPCC-B504-A = 5.0 ton, or
TWS748A = 48,000 BTU = 4 ton

Whirlpool Water Heater Serial Number Decoder

Age: For units manufactured up through the 1970’s, the date of manufacture information is found as a number and a letter in the serial number where the number is the single digit year and the letter indicates the month. A=Jan, B=Feb, C=Mar and so on.

Example:

1C-xxxx = March 1971
