The ID or serial number on many products can be a long and complex string of letters and numbers that's not always easy to find. So if you have to tell a repair person the year your Amana appliance was made, you’ll be relieved to know the model number is short and simple to decode. It's also easy to find. The number is on the model tag.
Decode Amana’s model number format. The first two numbers correspond to the year and the last two numbers refer to the week of that year. So a model number that reads 9806 means the appliance was manufactured in the sixth week of 1998, or February 1998.
Find the model tag on Amana refrigerators by looking on the inside wall. On dishwashers, the tag is located on the door seal, in the top, left-hand corner.
On a single built-in Amana oven, look on the bottom left side of the front frame; on a double built-in oven, find it in the lower oven by opening the door. On an Amana cooktop range, look on the bottom of the burner box; in microwave ovens, look inside, near the front frame.
On Amana washers and dryers, the model tag is found in different places based on the product type. On top-load washers, open the lid and look near the rear of the well; on front-load washers, look on the outer edge of the door. On top-load dryers, look on the inside of the door, in the upper front panel; on front-load dryers, look on the inside door, in front of the lint trap.
Tip
Once you find the year that your Amana appliance was made, write it down on the back cover of your owner’s manual for easy reference. If you’re having difficulty finding the model tag, or if it has been removed, call Amana’s customer service department at 866-616-2664 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time for assistance.

PeerlessPrior to 1984 there was not a date code included as part of the serial number. Starting in 1984, there was a four digit date code following the serial number that was month and year. Example - JO-12345-1084, this unit was built in October of 1984. Starting in the year 2000, same idea only it was a six digit date code following the serial number that is year and month. Example - 1234567-200105, this would have been build in May of 2001.
Anything without the addition to the serial number would have been made before 1984 and would require contact with the factory.
