Richard Moore Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Mike, I had a York furnace in a 2006 home today. Serial number WOK58..... According to the decoder chart, the 3rd letter, "K" represents the year and it would be a 2001 unit. That didn't make much sense, so I went off into google land and eventually found another chart that has K as 2005 (much better). See http://www.peaktoprairie.com/?D=153 I don't know for sure but I suspect all the numbers in "our" chart may be off by 4 years. ????

mbailey Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Richard, I pulled this off the net awhile ago and it seems to fit your situation. I do not run into that many York units here and have only used this info once ââ¬â and it was correct. York changed their serial nomenclature, so the old cheat sheets do not seem to work in decoding anything manufactured after 2005. In your case the NEW serial decoding is used and indicates a unit manufactured in 2005 First letter - specifies CITY of manufacture. W - Witchita, Kansas Second number - tells you the THIRD digit of the year of manufacture. Third letter - specifies month of manufacture. (12 Letters) A-January B-February C-March D-April Eââ¬âMay, F-June, H-July. Fourth number - specifies fourth digit of year of manufacture.

msteger Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I found the official documentation for this. York/Unitary did indeed change this as of October 2004. See the attached file for info.

I'd actually called Unitary early this morning and had gotten Matt's chart from Jeanne Walters about 2 hours ago. Then I revised the chart. Unfortunately, when I tried to access the library to add the updated chart I discovered that, apparently when we changedbroad band providers, my passwords hadn't been transferred because I kept getting booted for not havine authorized access. So, here's the new chart and I'll upload it to the library as soon as I can get access. Enjoy. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

hausdok Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Rich, By the way, according to the chart, your number isn't WOK58.... it's W0K58.... and is therefore manufactured in September of 2005. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
