How to Read Refrigerator Serial Numbers
Choose the refrigerator brand in the decoder, then enter the serial number exactly as printed on the label.
Most refrigerator age checks depend on serial patterns rather than model numbers because the date clues are usually embedded in the serial.
Where to Find the Serial Number
Most refrigerators place the label inside the fresh-food compartment on the side wall, ceiling, or behind the crisper area.
If it is not visible inside, check the frame behind the lower drawer, rear panel, or manufacturer service tag.
Example Serial Number Breakdown
Example: `AZ123456` or `312KWAB12345` can point to different year-month decoding rules depending on the brand.
Always select the correct brand before decoding because refrigerator serial formats are manufacturer-specific.
