Year
the rating tag carries a separate 'Prod. date' / 'Date prod.' field next to the 6-digit serial; its last two digits are the year (20 = 2020)
Week or month
first two digits of the Prod. date field = ISO week (42 = mid-October)

Example: serial 4220 decodes to week 42 of 2020.

Trap: Official Bertazzoni US 'How do I locate my model, serial number and production date?' PDF shows tags with Serial number 080367 + Prod. date 4220 (range) and Serial 082704 + Prod. date 4320 (built-in oven). The 6-digit SERIAL itself is a plain sequence with no date. The WWYY reading of the 4-digit field is an inference from the examples (42 and 43 cannot be years; both units are 2020 tags) - the PDF does not spell out the format, hence medium. Pattern applies to the Prod. date field, not the serial.

Where the data plate is on a refrigerator

Inside the fresh-food compartment: on a side wall, the ceiling, or behind the crisper drawers.

General guidance, not brand-specific: the owner's manual or the installer can point to the exact spot. See the data plate guide.

For scale only: the InterNACHI Standard Estimated Life Expectancy Chart for Homes lists Refrigerator at 9 to 13 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.
