:-) David (oakland510) is my partner, so Ralph's wondering why he didn't "go to the source." :-)
Alas, I don't have this information, so perhaps someone else does? I was able to locate information on the E2LPS that ballparks it between 1946 and 1983, and the non-cursive Maytag logo (with stylized square M graphic) suggests to us that it's newer than 1966, when the logo we all think of debuted on the Washpower Automatics. But beyond that, I have no idea how to decode the serial, and the sites that typically do that throw an error for this wringer serial number.

Stan, David is quite the jokester. When I saw this thread I thought he was motivated by remarks I had made this past weekend about common characteristics found in the first posts from new members, so I suspected a prank.
Apparently the E2LPS is for real. I'm still waiting to hear if it landed in David's hands sometime late this past Sunday after he and Nate arrived home from Kevin's, or if they've had the machine for a while.
Guys, isn't it getting a little crowded out there on the patio??? LOL! | ||

From the research I've done, the model & serial numbers on appliances are like the VIN's on cars. Before 1980, you need the manufacturer's log to decode it. However, after 1980, they decode in a standard way. My Maytag E2LPS is a last model year 1983, so it was easy to figure out. Here is the >1980 serial decode list:
The breakdown for Maytag Serial Numbers is: 1st Alpha Character (9th position) = Year Manufactured 2nd Alpha Character (10th position) = Month Manufactured Maytag (USA) - 12 Year Cycling Code Code Year Year E 1980 2004 G 1981 2005 J 1982 2006 L 1983 2007 N 1984 2008 P 1985 2009 R 1986 2010 T 1987 V 1988 X 1989 B 1990 D 1991 F 1992 H 1993 K 1994 M 1995 Q 1996 S 1997 U 1998 W 1999 Y 2000 Z 2001 A 2002 C 2003 Maytag Month Code Code Year A January B January C February D February E March F March G April H April J May K May L June M June N July Q July P August S August R September U September T October W October V November Y November X December Z December | ||
