How To Find The Age Of A DANBY Appliance

DANBY serial numbers are generally very straight forward and contain all the dates you need to determine the age of a DANBY appliance. Here are the steps to do it:

Step 1: Locate the Serial Number

The serial number is usually located on a metal plate or sticker somewhere on the appliance.
The location of the serial number may vary depending on the type of appliance you are working with. Some common places to look for the serial number include:

On the back or side of a refrigerator
On the rim or base of a dishwasher
On the door jamb or control panel of a washing machine or dryer
On the control panel of an oven or range

Step 2: Identify the Serial Number Format

DANBY serial numbers typically consist of all numeric digits. In almost all cases, the serial number will be 13 numeric digits.

Step 3: Decode the Serial Number

Once you have identified the serial number, you can use the following to decode the information:

The third and fourth digits indicate the year of manufacture.
The fifth and sixth digits indicate the year of manufacture.
For example, the serial number 4619054000999 would translate to May of 2019 (19, 05).

Appliance Age Finder

Our website decodes and searches appliance serial numbers and runs an algorithm against our own internal data and data on the general internet to determine the most likely manufacture date, providing a valuable resource for those who need to know the age of their appliances.

It works by first decoding the serial number then searching with that data to identify the manufacturer and the model of the appliance. This information is then given to our algorithms to find additional information about the appliance, including the date it was manufactured.

We use various algorithms and machine learning techniques to analyze the results and determine the most likely manufacture date for the appliance.

Why Does Appliance Age Matter?

A homeowner would want to find the age of their appliances for several reasons, such as

Lifespan: Knowing the age of the appliance can help a homeowner determine how much longer the appliance is likely to last, and whether it may need to be replaced soon.
Warranty: The manufacturer's warranty for appliances typically covers them for a certain period of time after the purchase date. Knowing the age of the appliance can help a homeowner determine if it is still covered under warranty.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance can help extend the life of an appliance. Knowing the age of the appliance can help a homeowner schedule necessary maintenance and repairs.
Value: The age of an appliance can affect its value if a homeowner is selling their home or if they are insuring it.

Integration

We provide an API that decodes appliance serial numbers and responds with the age of the appliance. It is a software interface that allows other applications to access information about appliances based on their serial numbers. Our API enables developers to integrate appliance information into their own applications, making it possible to retrieve details such as the manufacturer, model number, production date, and other relevant details.

Our API uses algorithms and databases to decode the serial numbers and provide accurate and up-to-date information to users. With a RESTful design and secure authentication, our API makes it easy for developers to integrate appliance information into their own applications, and for end-users to access the information they need.
