How to identify the year of manufacturer on each machine

In case you wanted to know when a specific machine was built, here's how to identify the date of manufacture. Note that this section is still under construction and there might be some factual errors as I'm still figuring out serial codes for other manufacturers.

Unless listed, all images on this section were created by me.

The date listed is '06/15'. This means this ADC EcoWash washer was built in June 2015.

Research is in process for their dryers

ADC

ADC will depend on their machines

For their washers (the EcoWash series), the date is posted on the right box in the serial number row. It lists an actual date code that's easy to decipher. The format is mm/yy.

Their dryers on the other hand are a little more intuitive and require a date code to decipher. I'm still working on it for their dryers.

The first two digits listed are '22' and the second two digits are '04'. This means this specific machine was manufactured in April 2022.

A 90's Speed Queen with a similar serial code. The first two digits listed are '99' and the second two digits are '01'. This means this specific machine was manufactured in January 1999.

Alliance

Alliance makes it pretty easy to find as the first two digits of the serial number identify the year of manufacture while the third and fourth digits identify the month. For older models, there may be letters before the numbers, but the decoding will always be the first four digits for important info.

This rule goes for any brand owned by Alliance Laundry Systems or machines made by them rebranded by other companies.

The first two digits listed are '23'. This means this specific machine was manufactured in 2023.

Continental Girbau

ExpressWash, G-Flex, Genius, L-Series, and M-Series washer manufacturing dates are pretty easy to find as the first two digits of the serial number identify the year of manufacture. I am still verifying if this is correct or not

Older washing machines, still working on it.

For the ExpressDry Series, see Alliance's date deciphering.

For Dexter based dryers, instructions coming soon.

Still figuring it out...

I'm still figuring out, but the serial code goes as 'W1.yy###.###'. The 'yy' part on this machine is '16', meaning it was made in 2016.

I'm still figuring out,

Dexter

Please note that I am actively working on this section to attempt to decipher the year on their machines.

C-Series machines

Working on it

A-Series

I'm working on it.

On the date code, it lists '1502'. This means this specific machine was manufactured in February 2015.

Electrolux & Wascomat

Electrolux & Wascomat machines are quite easy to find the date of manufacture. On the date, the first two numbers identify the year and the last two identify the month of manufacture.

The first two digits listed are '10'. This means this specific machine was manufactured in 2010.

IPSO

IPSO's serial codes on their machines vary

All stuff obviously manufactured by Alliance Laundry Systems

See Alliance's date deciphering.

Machines with the 9 cycle microprocessor controls

Finding the date code on these machines are pretty easy as the first two digits of the serial number identify the year of manufacture while the third and fourth digits identify the month.

Old machines

Working on it.

Maytag

Maytag date codes require deciphering. I'm still working on it.

The first two digits listed are '03'. This means this specific machine was manufactured in 2003.

Whirlpool

On older Whirlpool machines, I think the 1st and 2nd digit after the 'C' in the serial identifies the year, but I can't verify that until I see more of these with the similar serial code layout (if you find an older (like early 2000's) Whirlpool top loader, email me its serial numbers so I can compare).

Newer machines require deciphering.

Note that I am still figuring out the proper way to decipher their serial codes
