Answer

Hi,

I can tell you the exact month and year the refrigerator was manufactured if you give me the first two letters of the serial number. Note that the serial number you gave isn’t right GE serial numbers always starts with two letters.

Just going by the model number all I can say is it is less than 10 years old.

The first letter of the serial number stands for the month the appliance was manufactured and the second letter stands for the year.

Month

A-Jan.
D-Feb.
F-Mar.
G-Apr.
H-May
L-Jun.
M-Jul.
R-Aug.
S-Sep.
T-Oct.
V-Nov.
Z-Dec.


Year

V-1011
T-2010
S-2009
R-2008
M-2007
L-2006
H-2005
G-2004
F-2003
D-2002
A-2001
Z-2000
V-1999
T-1998
S-1997
R-1996

Example: if the serial starts with AA it was manufactured Jan. 2001. If the serial number starts with DZ then it was manufactured Feb. 2000.

Every 12 years the years start over which is why R stands for 2008 and 1996.

Thank you,
