I have a Maytag E2L wringer washer with serial # F173651N and I was wondering what year this unit was made.

The serial number you have posted was never manufactured by Maytag.

Are you CERTAIN that the first letter is an "F"? Could it be an "E"?

If it is an "E", then the machine was manufactured in July of 1956

That poses a conundrum. The 6 digit serial number with a letter preceding and following is consistent with an E2L manufactured between 1954 and 1959. Wringers made between 1945 - 1953 used a 6 digit serial number but only had a letter AFTER the serial number.

This might be an issue only Geoff can help with!

Since you posted a pic of the serial number, can you post a picture of the whole machine including a shot inside the tub. There are many of us who can date one of these machines to within about 5 years just by looking at them.

The red agitator, if original, places this machine between 1950 and 1954.
