The official HVAC lookup may return model, product description, manufacture date and warranty term; no API integration or claim of universal appliance coverage.
Registration and proof of purchase remain separate from the manufacture date.
Historic 2015–2017 two-digit year/date-length shifts are documented but not verified sufficiently for this parser.
The verified year table ends at2024; post2024 codes and automatic decade rollovers are not assumed.
Research reviewed October 16, 2026. This independent tool applies published rules and retains unresolved years and model candidates.
The 22-character factory format documented by the MDRS925CIE46M refrigerator service manual; require this model and explicit matching refrigerator-format selection. Do not apply to HVAC or other appliance formats.
Visually verified official page 20. Date letters A/B/C mean October/November/December. Keep published 2018-2024 year mapping fixed; no automatic decade rollover or inferred model from the serial. The illustrated label also includes the different product MERC151FZF01AP, so this is format documentation rather than a full model-to-serial catalogue.
Confirm the documented Midea refrigerator factory format and the MDRS925CIE46M model before interpreting this serial. This system does not cover HVAC.

Midea 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.
