🔤 Electrolux Serial Number Format

Electrolux North American appliances use the same format as Frigidaire: the first two characters are a plant/factory code (letters), characters 3–4 are the 2-digit year, and characters 5–6 are the 2-digit manufacturing week (01–52).

How Electrolux Serial Numbers Work

Electrolux AB is a Swedish multinational that owns several major appliance brands, including Frigidaire in North America. Because Frigidaire and Electrolux products are manufactured in the same facilities using the same production systems, they share an identical serial number encoding format. The serial number begins with a two-letter plant code identifying the factory location. The next two digits encode the two-digit year of manufacture: years 00–79 map to 2000–2079, and years 80–99 map to 1980–1999. The following two digits give the manufacturing week (01–52). Electrolux sells premium appliances in North America under its own brand — typically at a higher price point than comparable Frigidaire models, with more sophisticated designs and features. Despite the premium positioning, the serial encoding is identical, making this decoder equally applicable to both brands. For Electrolux appliances sold in Europe, the serial format may differ. This decoder is optimized for North American Electrolux appliances manufactured by Electrolux North America.

Why Decode Your Electrolux Serial Number?

Electrolux serial decoding is useful for warranty claims on higher-end appliances, finding the right service parts (Electrolux has some unique components not shared with Frigidaire), and verifying age when purchasing pre-owned or floor model Electrolux appliances. Home inspectors and real estate agents also use serial decoding to document premium appliance age in luxury homes.

💡 Pro Tips

Electrolux and Frigidaire share the same serial format because they are sister brands under Electrolux AB. If you have a Frigidaire Gallery or Frigidaire Professional appliance, use the Frigidaire decoder instead — the results will be identical. The plant code, year, and week are consistent across both brands.
