Does anyone have any information as far as deciphering the ge washer/dryer date codes?
It would be nice help for our club members to have some sort of age guide to go by when appliance hunting!

Hmm.. So if I go back 12 years from 1980 on the list and start the codes over, My code of MV would be July 1975 for the Commercial washer. Think this might be plausible?
