Have to have serial number.
I have one that was purchased in May of 2008. You can call Maytag with your serial number and they could tell you when your machine was purchased.
2005
If you phone the Maytag/Whirlpool company (the 1-800 numbers are on their website), with the serial number of your appliance, the rep. there can provide you with the date of manufacture. (I just did that today, turns out my Maytag LAT5000 washer was made in 1992).
You need the serial number to determine when it was built! David a dealer here in IL.
Next to the serial number is a date code with a letter for the month and a number for the year. Mine is K7, which I believe is November (some manufacturers did not use I) and the year 1967.
That is BS that the serial number is needed to age an appliance. I don't know why that Appliance 411 site requires the serial number. If the serial number were needed to date a particular model, then these manufacturers would still be using the same model numbers over and over, which they don't. Just try plugging an old model number into a search engine, and all that will appear are sites for parts and blogs detailing problems. On the contrary, when you plug in a current model (within 2 years) you'll find the model still for sale.
La23cs ran several years. i would say about 1985 to 1992. a commercial maytag dealer can tell you exactly when a particular machine was made from the serial number. la just means it's almond color. cs just means it is coin slide operated. 23 is the series of washer.
That model was manufactured between the years of 1983 and 1996, you would need your serial number to determine the exact age of the appliance. If you have the serial number, you can call Maytag and they can tell you the age.
I have a Sub Zero refrigerator in my home and I need to know the age of it. The serial # P1403721 The unit was made 5-29-98
The age of a specific Subzero model 590 refrigerator can be determined based on its serial number. The first two digits of the serial number usually represent the year of manufacture. You can contact Subzero customer service with the serial number to get an accurate age for your specific model.
The Kenmore refrigerator that has the serial number 106.8688481 was made in the year 2011. As of 2013, the parts for the Kenmore refrigerator range anywhere from $5 to $200, plus tax and shipping.
