How to Read Washer Serial Numbers
Select the correct brand first, then enter the washer serial number exactly as shown on the label.
The serial number is the strongest age signal because most washer model numbers do not directly encode manufacture date.
Where to Find the Serial Number
Top-load washers often place the label under the lid or on the rear panel, while front-load washers usually place it around the door opening.
If needed, check the back of the cabinet or the edge of the door frame.
Example Serial Number Breakdown
Example: `CU2401234` or `AZ123456` can be decoded only after the correct washer brand is selected.
Different manufacturers reuse similar letter and number shapes, so brand context matters before reading the date code.
