RCA Appliance - How to Determine the Age or Manufacture Date

The manufacturing month and year is coded into the serial number (not the model number) of the appliance. Our serial numbers begin with two letters. The first letter identifies the month and the second letter identifies the year. The corresponding letters for months and years are in the chart below. For example, if the serial number begins with the letters "GA," the appliance was manufactured in either April of 1989 or April of 2001.

 

Letter	Month (first letter)	Years (second letter)
A	January	2001, 1989
D	February	2002, 1990
