Check parts and warranty information
Request the available supplier record for this serial. Returned replacement parts describe components; they do not identify the complete equipment model.

Serial formats
and source limits
Check the inner left wall of the condensing-unit compartment; read the model number and date code as separate fields.
The form illustrates five or six digits, or a nine-character mixed format. The guide separately describes a three-character date code.
Formats described by the source
- The separate date-code field uses two characters for year and one month letter: 6EN is February 2015 in the guide.
- Listed month letters are M,N,P,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z for January–December. The guide’s year table runs from 6E=2015 through 8H=2038.
Read these alongside the source limits below. A source-described format does not establish an automatic decoding rule for every product.
- Serial dates and format matches do not establish current warranty coverage, purchase date, authenticity or ownership.
- A missing equipment records result does not establish an invalid serial number; manufacturer and model coverage vary.
- The three-character date code is a separate field in the guide. Do not assume every serial embeds it at the same position.

Kold-Draft separate three-character date code
Kold-Draft GT357/557, GB457/657/1257/1258 and GT36x/56x, GB56x/106x families documented by the manufacturer date-code tables.
This is a separate date code on the nameplate. It is not derived from the unique serial number. The two primary charts jointly document 1990–2039; future-dated values must not be returned as a completed manufacture date.
Understanding the record
Kold-Draft lookup questions
Does a returned part identify my equipment model?
A compatible replacement part is a component and can fit several equipment models. An equipment model is shown only if the record explicitly identifies it. You can enter the model printed on your unit to search its manuals independently.
Do warranty dates guarantee free service?
The lookup displays warranty fields available for the serial. Dates alone do not establish entitlement: parts, labor, installation, geography and purchase requirements can differ. Confirm coverage with the manufacturer before arranging service.
Can I share a lookup?
Use “Copy share link” after a lookup. The serial and optional model appear after #serial= in the URL. Anyone with that link can repeat the lookup and see those details.
What if no record is available?
Check letters, leading zeros and meaningful hyphens. Use the manufacturer’s support and model-specific manual. A database coverage gap and a temporary service failure are different results.
