- 1). Find the sticker containing the serial number and model number. These stickers are not all in the same place; some may be visible on the door or a back shelf. If you're still unable to find it, consult the guide the help you locate the sticker. Copy down the serial number.
- 2). Note the first two letters of the serial number. Compare the first letter with the decoder guide. For example, if the first letter is a "T" then the refrigerator was made in October.
- 3). Note the second of the two letters in the serial number. Compare it to the decoder guide. For example, if the second letter is a "G" then the fridge was made in 2004. Therefore, if your first two letters are "T" and "G" the refrigerator was made in October, 2004.
- 4). Consult the Canadian guide to decipher the code if the fridge is from Canada. The same rules apply for Canadian appliances, but the codes are different.
