Can't find Frigidaire on the furnace age chart. Anyone have their code handy? Serial number FG6000753401
Thanks.

My serial numbers don't look like that.

According to my notes, Nordyne is the manufacturer
Here is their phone number if you want to call them tomorrow.
1 888 667-4822

July 2000.

Frigidaire and Tappan are the same. The first three positions are model and series and the next four are year and month.

Hey Mike,
For Tappan, is it not the last 3? In this case would be April 2001.

Thanks,

Even with the charts there always seems to be confusion about age. My problem is more knowing who makes what if they are not listed.

Thanks so much for your help. I love this forum.

Hi,

My notes reflect two methods for Tappen:

Pre-1998 is the last 3 characters for the year and month.

1998 and later is the first three positions are model and series and the next four are year and month and the last five are production code.

OT - OF!!!
