Check a documented system

What’s on the rating plate?

Dacor traditional cooking/laundry appliance service-number systems.

Spaces and dashes are accepted. Check O/0 and I/1, and keep any leading zeros.

Checks ENERGY STAR model records and searches manuals separately from the serial. Certification records do not establish this unit’s manufacture date.

Known product context (optional)

Choose a system only when it matches the product family and its documentation. A purchase year or a manual’s publication date does not establish a manufacturing date.

Scope matters

Supported formats
and historical limits.

  • A serial date code does not normally encode the full model number. Read the separate model/E-Nr/product code on the rating plate.
  • Modern Samsung-style Dacor products need verified product-specific rules; the Samsung brand decoder is not automatically assigned after the acquisition.
  • Pre-2002 single-digit years repeat; ambiguous decades remain visible.

Research reviewed October 16, 2026. This independent tool applies published rules and retains unresolved years and model candidates.

Source references

Dacor before week 38 of 2002

Legacy Dacor service-manual format, before the documented 2002 week-38 transition.

The single year digit repeats by decade. The serial identifies a product code and revision, not an exact model. Do not use this format for modern Samsung-style serials.

Dacor 2002 week-38 and later service format

Dacor traditional service format introduced in week 38 of 2002; product and revision codes may each contain one or two letters.

Dash removal preserves date decoding but can lose the boundary between a multi-letter product and revision. Model identity is not recoverable. The source has an apparent 04→1994 typo and a character-count typo; apply the documented example and transition, not the typos. Later Samsung-style formats require independent evidence.

Reading your result

Dacor lookup questions

Why does the year code match more than one year?

Some systems reuse letters or only encode the last one or two year digits. Every supported interpretation is retained. A decade supplied from reliable records can narrow the reading; the tool does not automatically pick the newest year.

Does the serial identify my exact model?

Usually the model is a separate plate field. Where published serial ranges actually identify a model, the result shows model candidates and links to their manuals. Overlapping ranges remain ambiguous.

Can I share the result?

After a lookup, the address includes the serial in a fragment beginning with #serial=. Use “Copy share link” to share the serial and selected context. Opening the link runs the same lookup. The fragment is not a query-string result page.
