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.
