(June 1967)

(Sept 1986) B-W uses a 20-year letter code cycle to designate the year.

The first letter is the year and the second is the month.

Letter A = 1964, 1984 and 2004

A thru N = Jan thru Dec

(Excludes I, O, Q, R, U & V)

(Copied and Pasted from a chart,) Serial is WF9824123 so the month is June, the year is...? (house was built in 78) 77? 17 letters into alphabet not counting the exclusions, Am I doing this right? Also have furnace/AC but Ill post in other forum.

Thanks, Matt

EDIT: Wait A=xxx4 so 2000?

W is either 1980 or 2000 (and presumably will be 2020). Hopefully, you can tell the difference between a 29 year old heater and one only 9 years old.

The following is a little out of date, but you can pencil in A=2004, B=2005, etc, etc

I carry a few of these brand charts with me for those serial numbers which are not obvious. It's nice to be able to tell the client how old their appliance is on site.

Wow, that was confusing, My OP I mean, ites 1984-2004 group, for some reason I wasnt excluding O, was confusing myself, It is a 2000 model. Agreed I will print out a few charts I have found to keep on hand, very handy. Thanks
