I just wanted to know if I can determine the year made by the model or serial numbers on the belt drive models. I think on the Sears ones, it's in the first digits of the serial number. Same on the Whirlpool models or no? | ||

cm I can't recall but it seems to me dadoes or gansky are familiar with the Wp dating codes. I think letters might be involved in the model #s dating scheme; I'm pretty sure that they didn't use the same system as their Sears Kenmore counterparts. | ||

There was a pattern on model numbers from the early 1960 to the late 1970s. (The model number syntax changed at that time to prevent repetition, although the letters were similiarly-used.) The 2nd character designates the year. L in first position is laundry product. A in 3rd position is automatic washer. E is electric dryer. I is gas dryer. I'm not positive on *exactly* how the years break down. Not all letters of the alphabet were used in sequence. Some were reserved for product line and color. LJA = 1962 (possibly 1961, our LJA washer was purchased in January 1962) LMA = 1964 LXA = 1972 LAA = 1973-74 LDA = 1975-76 LFA = 1976-77 LHA = 1978/79 K, P, R, S, T, V were used for years, I think. Q may have been. Fill in the gaps above accordingly. Serial numbers can tell the year and week-of-the-year of manufacture, but I'm not sure how to interpret it. Perhaps Leslie/MagicClean can clarify? | ||
