🔤 JennAir Serial Number Format

JennAir appliances use the Whirlpool serial number format. The second character (position 2) is a year letter and the third character (position 3) is a month letter. Year letters: F=1996 through E=2016, then cycling F=2017, G=2018, etc. Month letters: A=Jan, B=Feb, C=Mar, D=Apr, E=May, F=Jun, G=Jul, H=Aug, J=Sep, K=Oct, L=Nov, M=Dec. Example: "KSR123456" — S=2006 (or 2017 in second cycle), R is not a month letter; interpret based on serial length and context.

CSR123456

Position 2 "S" = 2006 or 2017; position 3 "R" is not a standard month. Consult full serial context.

KTF123456

Position 2 "T" = 2007 or 2018; position 3 "F" = June. Manufactured June 2007 or June 2018.

XDC123456

Position 2 "D" = 2015 or 2024; position 3 "C" = March. Manufactured March of that year.

How JennAir Serial Numbers Work

JennAir is owned by Whirlpool Corporation and manufactured in Whirlpool's facilities alongside KitchenAid, Maytag, and Whirlpool-branded appliances. As a result, JennAir uses the same serial number encoding system as all Whirlpool brands. The Whirlpool/JennAir encoding places the year letter in the second position of the serial and the month letter in the third position. Year letters cycle through a defined sequence: F=1996, G=1997, H=1998, J=1999, K=2000, L=2001, M=2002, N=2003, P=2004, R=2005, S=2006, T=2007, V=2008, W=2009, X=2010, Y=2011, then A=2012, B=2013, C=2014, D=2015, E=2016, and the cycle repeats from F=2017 onward. Month letters use a condensed alphabet: A through M, skipping I (so J=September, K=October, L=November, M=December). This system is consistent across all Whirlpool Corporation brands manufactured since the mid-1990s.

Why Decode Your JennAir Serial Number?

JennAir serial decoding is valuable for luxury appliance owners verifying warranty coverage (JennAir offers competitive warranties on refrigerators, ranges, and dishwashers), scheduling service appointments, and documenting appliance age when renovating or selling a home. JennAir's premium positioning means repairs can be costly — knowing the age helps you decide between repair and replacement.

💡 Pro Tips

JennAir, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, and Roper all use the same Whirlpool serial format. If you have any Whirlpool Corporation appliance, this decoder applies. JennAir is particularly common in high-end kitchen renovations; the serial number is key to verifying the equipment age for real estate disclosure purposes.
