How to Read Kenmore Serial Numbers
Enter the full Kenmore serial number exactly as shown on the label and avoid dropping prefix letters or leading zeros.
Because Kenmore products were manufactured by multiple OEMs, the serial format can vary by platform and era.
Where to Find the Serial Number
Most Kenmore refrigerators place the tag inside the cabinet, while dishwashers place it on the inner frame and washers or dryers place it around the opening.
Cooking products usually mount the label behind the door, drawer, or back panel.
Example Serial Number Breakdown
Example: `CM2405678` may point to a Whirlpool-family or GE-family production format depending on the source manufacturer.
Run the decoder instead of guessing the OEM because Kenmore serial interpretation depends on who built the unit.
FAQ
How do I tell how old my Kenmore appliance is?
Use the serial number rather than the model number when it is available, because that is usually where age signals are stored.
Why do Kenmore serial numbers vary so much?
Kenmore branding spans multiple manufacturers, so the format depends on the actual production source.
Can I still use this page if I do not know the OEM?
Yes. The decoder is the right starting point when the label only shows the Kenmore brand.
