Identifying Washer Ages by the Serial Number

[aquarius1984]

On the Washerhelp website there was a section on how to Identify the age of your washer by the Serial No.

I cant find this anymore..... can anyone help me and explain how to do this. I know it mentioned Hoover and Hotpoints but I cannot remember how its done.

My Hotpoints label on the door..... im sure this machine is from 1994 as the label on the lid states too

Serial numbers.....

Hey Nick/All

Not too sure on Hotpoint but 94 is bout right

Hoover used the same system as on their cleaners unti about 95.

The 1st number after the model number is the year and the next 2 are the month. The Logic I recently saved has a serial along the lines of A3636806xxxxx

Model=A3636
Year=8(1988)
Month 6(June obviously)

The remainder is unique to that particular example.
