How old is my Caloric stove?

1. Find the rating label: Open the oven door or pull out the storage drawer and look on the frame. On some models it is on the back or under the cooktop.
2. Take a photo of the whole label, or note the model and serial numbers.
3. Check it on Appliance Age. It is free, and no account is needed.

Open the oven door or pull out the storage drawer and look on the frame. On some models it is on the back or under the cooktop.

Keep the model, serial and any separate production code or printed date together. Not every serial number contains a publicly decodable 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.

Ranges & Ovens typically last 13 to 15 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. A gas range that clicks without lighting, or an oven that takes much longer to heat, usually needs an igniter or element, not a new range.

Parts that wear out most often on ranges & ovens:

• Bake element
• Broil element
• Surface element or burner
• Igniter
• Oven temperature sensor
• Knobs

Have the model number from the rating label ready so the parts fit.

Search our indexed notices by type, brand and optional model number, then confirm with the manufacturer.
