I've taken apart an older Whirlpool Gas Stove and wanted to see if I could salvage some parts off from it. I can read the serial number just fine but the model number is almost completely gone. I was curious if there was a way to find the model number with the serial number? APL2101738 I do have a couple parts from it that have clear part numbers on them but still didn't help me pinpoint which model I had. The top black glass panel says Whirlpool.

It looked like this one but had black handles.

That is where I got the picture. It looks almost exactly like it but its not it. It doesn't say premier on it where the knobs are. It says Whirlpool on the back glass. I was hoping to somehow find a close enough model number for mine from using the serial number so I can use the available charts/part number charts but it may not be possible.

Though I guess it might be possible its a later version prior to premier, or perhaps a premier version just labeled Whirlpool. I wish I would have taken a picture prior to taking it apart.

The tell-tale is the oven vent. To provide a full line, all of the OEMs fill up their line wherever they can; and Peerless Premier (Belleville, IL) probably makes the only 36" stoves any longer.

Side by side with a Premier range it's obviously a Premier built stove.

WP Sourced some ranges from Premier

They are very cheaply built ranges, good for someone that takes very good care of things and does not cook much or care about great cooking performance.

Look at that inefficient center burner sunken so deeply below the grate.

Never knew Premier made stoves for Whirlpool. I don't think I've even seen a 36" or 40" Whirlpool range before. The only newer 36" or 40" ranges I see anymore are the Frigidaire or Kenmore Elite stainless steel models.

Although I DID see a Sunray 20" electric range branded as Whirlpool once!

The center burner looks like it converts to a griddle like the old griddle in the middle ranges did.

First of all thanks for all the replies. So is the one I have an older Whirlpool Range made by Premier? I tried looking up the ID number to get a date but the site I use wanted a model number, which like I mentioned is pretty much unreadable. I figured maybe I could piggy back off the parts for a newer Premier model like the one I pictured but looking up the model # for the newer models yields nothing in terms of parts on my reference sites.

Since I scrap a decent amount of appliances I try and save as many parts as I can. I actually had someone personally write me ecstatic over a particular set of bolts they had been trying to find for the last 2 years. With this stove without a model number to look up part numbers its difficult to list them and put them in the hands of people that need those parts. Here is a picture of the glass panel I was talking about.


It was definitely a Whirlpool that looked identical to the premier picture I posted.
