How old is my Norge dryer?

1. Find the rating label: Inside the door opening, or on the back.
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.

Inside the door opening, or on the back.

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.

Dryers typically last 10 to 13 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Clean the lint screen every load and the vent duct every year: lint build-up is a leading cause of dryer fires.

Parts that wear out most often on dryers:

• Drive belt
• Heating element
• Thermal fuse
• Drum rollers
• Igniter (gas)
• Lint screen

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.
