How to Tell What Year a GE Range Is by the Model or Serial Number

Look for the serial number on the stove. There are several locations where the serial number might be: under the left front surface unit; centered on the right side under the lift up cooktop; behind the over door on the frame; behind the drawer on front of the frame or on the left leg behind the broil drawer, storage drawer or kick panel.

Look at the first letter of the serial number. This indicates the month the range was manufactured:

A January
