Appliance Serial Number Lookup & Age Finder

Run an appliance serial number lookup: pick a brand, enter the serial, see the manufacture date and age. Nothing leaves the browser.

🏷️ Appliance Serial Number Lookup & Age Finder shows when your refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher or range was made and how old it is. Pick the brand, type the serial from the label and get the manufacture date in a second. Most makers hide the production date inside the serial number, and every brand writes it in its own way. The extension reads that code for you, so you do not need to hunt for a separate chart for each brand. Everything runs inside your browser, and what you type is never sent anywhere. 🚀 Quick start 1. Click Add to Chrome, then pin the icon to the toolbar. 2. Open the window and choose the brand of your machine. 3. Type the serial exactly as printed on the label. Spaces, dashes and lowercase letters are fine. 4. Press Find age and read the result. ✨ What you get ➤ The appliance manufacture date and the age in plain words, for example "Manufactured: March 2016 · about 10 years old". ➤ An honest answer when a code is not unique. If a letter stands for a year that comes back after some time, the window lists every possible year, newest first, and shows how to tell them apart when the brand's rule allows it. ➤ A clear message when the serial does not fit the brand's pattern, with a hint about where to look for the right one. ➤ A line with the typical appliance life expectancy for the type you check, next to its age, so you can compare the two. 🧮 How the age is calculated The extension decodes the year and the month from the serial by the maker's rule, then counts the time from that date to today. A date that would fall in the future is dropped, so you never see an impossible result. The window speaks English or Spanish, depending on the language of your browser. 🖱️ Right-click lookup ➤ Select a serial on any web page, in a listing or in an email, right-click and choose Look up appliance age. ➤ The window opens with the text already filled in. Choose the brand and read the result. ➤ If you select a whole label line such as "Model ABC-1234 Serial CB123456", the extension picks it out for you. ➤ The extension does not read the pages you visit. It receives only the text you select when you click the menu item. 📋 Brands and sources ➤ The brand menu in the window shows every brand the extension can decode. Some older date codes are not covered yet; the window says so instead of guessing. ➤ Each rule comes from the manufacturer's own documentation, or from two independent sources that agree. A brand without a confirmed rule is not included. ➤ The window remembers the brand you used last, so the next lookup takes only the code. 🔎 Where to find the serial It is printed on a rating label. The place depends on the maker and the type of machine: often on the door frame or the rim of the door opening, on a side wall inside, or on the back. Look for a line marked Serial, S/N or Ser. No. and copy it exactly, including the letters, since the first characters often hold the year and the month. 🔒 Privacy Everything happens on your computer. The decoding rules are packed inside the extension, which makes no network requests, sends no analytics and has no account or sign-in. Only two permissions are used: the context menu for the right-click item, and storage to pass the selected text to the window and to remember the last brand. There is no access to websites. 🛠️ Who made it The extension is made by Sprocket Appliance Repair, a team of technicians in New York City. The window has a link to our website for repair visits in NYC; it opens in a normal tab only when you click it. ❓ Questions Does the lookup need an internet connection? No. The rules and the calculation are inside the extension. Only the links to our website need a connection. How do I find out how old my refrigerator is? Choose the brand, type the code from the label inside the fridge and press Find age. The same steps give the appliance age of a washer, a dryer, a dishwasher or a range. What does the date mean? It is the production date that the manufacturer coded into the serial. It is not the date of purchase or installation. Why does the result show two years? Some makers reuse the same year letter after a number of years, so one serial can fit more than one year. The window shows all of them, newest first, instead of guessing. Does it tell me when to replace a machine? It shows the typical appliance lifespan for the type next to the age, so you can compare the two. It cannot judge the condition of your particular unit. Install Appliance Serial Number Lookup & Age Finder, enter the serial from your label and see the appliance age in seconds.
