How to breakdown the age of your Whirlpool Appliance via the Serial Number:
- 1st Alphabetical character: The Manufacturing Division Code
- 2nd Alphabetical Character: The Year Manufactured (See table I provided Below)
- 1st and 2nd numerical characters (digits): The week out of the year that the product was manufactured.
- 3rd-7th numerical characters (digits): Order # this specific product was during that week out of the year.
**FOR EXAMPLE: the serial number of a Kenmore Dryer is as follows: MB1402320 which indicates that by looking at the charts; it was built in the 14th week of the year 1992.
Yours is as follows:
MA2408599- so by looking at the charts and tables- I located the year in correspondence with the 2nd letter in the serial number which is A.
The year for the Code Letter "A" is 1991.
By looking at the 1st and 2nd numbers in this serial number... which is 24- (MA
2408599): I can then determine that this specific product was made the 24th week of the year 1991.
If you google the 24th week of the year 1991- I was able to determine that your specific product was manufactured and made sometime during the week of June 10th-June 16th which is the 24th week of the year in 1991.
So again- Your product was manufactured in June of 1991- Making your specific Serial Number/Product approximately 31 Years old!
