drw Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Does anyone know how to translate a Sears furnace serial # to find out a date of manufacture? As I understand it, Sears furnaces are not always built by the same manufacturer. The one I am interested in has a serial # H 93050209 and a manufacturer # 605418. Thanks in advance.

Terence McCann Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 It would appear to be a 1993 unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Manufactured August 1993 most likely. OT - OF!!! M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozofprev Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hi Ken, Always good to have an HVAC guy around a place like this. I used to be a zipper-head in Endicott! I was into flying gliders at the tri-city airstrip. Beautiful land, too little sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi Chad, I've never seen a Kelvinator out here and I don't have one on my list, so I'm afraid I can't help. Anyone else? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know how you came up with 1998? Kelvinator is made by Nordyne. That'd make your unit from July of '03.

Brian Kelly Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Chad the Kelvinator is a 2003 unit as I was told the first 2 numbers together in the serial # are the year build. The local wholesaler rep. for Kelvinator is Northstar. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kelly Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Chad According to my source the year is the first two consecutive numbers is the year. Your unit is a 2003. The local supplier for the Kelvinator is Northstar in Rochester NY. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks folks. I used the Trane chart...I guess because I got some erroneous information from a website that said after 1996 Trane made most Kelvinators not Nordyne. That'll teach me to not trust posts from HVAC forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4square Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 KEnmore Furnace Model 867.769224 Serial Number: H611 39071 This one really has me stumped. It's a 90% efficient according to the panel. It's really a mid efficiency unit since the combustion air is drawn from the inside of the home and is exhausted out via a PVC duct. I'm just trying to get an age of it since the seller of the property claims it's new. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hi, August 2006. It can still be a Category IV furnace, even if it draws combustion air from the inside. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the clue... H is the month of manufacture. The next two digits is the year of manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Gotta be careful with the freezers PHillip. They'll give you a bad case of blue b*&^s. I don't have any personal experience but I hear they don't put out so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepefrio Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Well, I've had to leave the kitchen appliances alone and move over to bathroom items. Seems they are the only ones that are happy when I give them #$%^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
