Does anyone know how to translate a Sears furnace serial # to find out a date of manufacture?

As I understand it, Sears furnaces are not always built by the same manufacturer. The one I am interested in has a serial # H 93050209 and a manufacturer # 605418.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ken,

Always good to have an HVAC guy around a place like this.

I used to be a zipper-head in Endicott! I was into flying gliders at the tri-city airstrip. Beautiful land, too little sun.

Hi Chad,

I've never seen a Kelvinator out here and I don't have one on my list, so I'm afraid I can't help. Anyone else?

I'm curious to know how you came up with 1998?

Kelvinator is made by Nordyne. That'd make your unit from July of '03.

The serial numbers run, G6AYYMM

According to my source the year is the first two consecutive numbers is the year. Your unit is a 2003. The local supplier for the Kelvinator is Northstar in Rochester NY. Hope this helps.

Thanks folks.

I used the Trane chart...I guess because I got some erroneous information from a website that said after 1996 Trane made most Kelvinators not Nordyne. That'll teach me to not trust posts from HVAC forums.

KEnmore Furnace Model 867.769224

Serial Number: H611 39071

This one really has me stumped. It's a 90% efficient according to the panel. It's really a mid efficiency unit since the combustion air is drawn from the inside of the home and is exhausted out via a PVC duct. I'm just trying to get an age of it since the seller of the property claims it's new.

Thanks!

Here's the clue... H is the month of manufacture. The next two digits is the year of manufacture.

Just what I need to do.

Hang out with a bunch of whack jobs dating furnaces and claiming "my furnace is hotter than your furnace"!

What will y'all be dating next???

Probably water heaters!

Gotta be careful with the freezers PHillip. They'll give you a bad case of blue b*&^s.

I don't have any personal experience but I hear they don't put out so well.
