How old is my Amana microwave?
Check the rating label of your Amana microwave for the serial number and any printed manufacture date. Enter the details or a label photo to check supported date formats, typical service life and available recall notices. Appliances are made by Whirlpool Corporation (Maytag before 2006). Amana furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps are made under license by Daikin (formerly Goodman), a separate company.
Check your Amana microwave
- Find the rating label: Over-the-range models: on the front frame, visible when the door is open. Built-in models: under the control panel, on the right side along the vent.
- Take a photo of the whole label, or note the model and serial numbers.
- Check it on Appliance Age. It is free, and no account is needed.
Where is the serial number on a Amana microwave?
Over-the-range models: on the front frame, visible when the door is open. Built-in models: under the control panel, on the right side along the vent.
Keep the model, serial and any separate production code or printed date together. Not every serial number contains a publicly decodable date.
Amana’s guide to finding the model and serial numberChecking the manufacture date
Use the format that belongs to this product family. A printed production date, a supported serial code or manufacturer confirmation can establish the age. Repeating year codes may leave more than one possible year; a model-series introduction date helps narrow the range but does not date your individual unit.
How long does a Amana microwave last?
Microwaves typically last 8 to 10 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Over-the-range models have grease and charcoal filters; replace them as the manual says.
