How old is my GE Café?
A serial number alone may not establish the age of your GE Café equipment. Look for a manufacture date on the rating label, then check original documents or contact the manufacturer if the date is missing.
We recognize GE Café. We’re still building its age decoder.
You can still scan the data plate to extract the brand, model and serial and check available recall information. We won’t guess the manufacture date.

GE appliance serial letters and repeating years
GE household appliances using the two-letter date code · Sources checked October 12, 2026
GE documents a serial format with two opening letters: the first identifies the month and the second identifies a possible manufacture year. The model number identifies the product, rather than dating the individual unit.
GE year letters repeat approximately every 12 years. The serial alone may therefore leave several candidate dates. Compare the model and the owner’s manual publication date to narrow the period.
A masked date-code example
GA•••••••
GE uses GA to illustrate April 2001 or April 2013. The same year code also appears in other cycles, so this prefix is not a unique date by itself.
A manual publication date is supporting evidence, not proof of the exact manufacture date. Ask GE with the model and serial when the year remains uncertain.
