Serial number decoder for Frigidaire
Type the serial from the data plate, not the model number. Nothing is sent anywhere; the tables are in this page.
Format example: LA81503430
- Frigidaire refrigerator serial numbers in the 1986 to present format encode the year as digit 3 = last digit of the year only (decade NOT encoded) and the week as digits 4-5 (source: building-center.org).
- Example: serial LA81503430 decodes to week 15 of 1988 or 1998 or 2008 or 2018.
- The 1986 to present format is ambiguous: One year digit => LA81503430 could be 1998, 2008 or 2018; building-center, appliancedates and Sears all say to pick the decade from the model/design or the manual's print date. Newer plates usually print the full manufacture date anyway. Style covers Frigidaire (since 1986), Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Philco, WCI and Kenmore 253/417/790/970/119/336. Worked examples: LA81503430 = 1998 wk 15 (refrigerator), 4D72904857 = 2017 wk 29 (Electrolux dryer; plant char is a digit), 3F91400621 = 2009 wk 14 (Frigidaire cooktop), VF71042765 = 2007 wk 10 (Kenmore 790 range), TH00257759 = 2000 wk 2, TH30728110 = 2013 (dishwasher), KG44312523 (building-center). Pre-1979 GM-era Frigidaire has no consistent code (building-center).

What we could not confirm
- Frigidaire is treated as sharing Electrolux's format because the source lists it in that family; the corporate relationship itself is an estimate.
- No official online lookup URL was verified for Frigidaire.
- Same Electrolux 10-char style since 1986; building-center says pre-1979 GM-era plates have no consistent code. frigidaire.com times out for curl (no verified URL).
