Help finding the model and serial number

Where is the serial number on a GE Café stove?

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.

GE Café’s guide to finding the model and serial number

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.

Checking 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 GE Café stove last?

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.
