Use this page when you need to find the age of a Whirlpool refrigerator from the serial number inside the fresh-food compartment.
Check the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment, behind the crisper drawers, or near the side wall by the door seal. Some units may also place a label near the rear service area.
The refrigerator serial number is usually the best way to estimate manufacture date and age. If you have the serial, move to the Whirlpool decoder. If the tag is missing but you have the model number, use Smart Lookup.
Decode the serial number, research by model number, or use the label guide if you still need to locate the tag.
Locate the serial number label inside the fridge and decode it using the Whirlpool page.
Use Smart Lookup as a fallback if the serial label is unreadable.
