FAQ

The results our service reports are derived using the product manufacturer’s date coding system. There is no ‘list’ with dates. Each date is calculated in real time from the information entered.

Some date coding systems are more accurate than others. Some manufacturers repeat the same date codes decades apart resulting in multiple possibilities. If possible our service will return an exact date or if not it will return several possible dates. In the latter case our service will often offer additional ‘Tips’ to try to assist in narrowing the possibilities presented.

When a serial number could represent multiple dates our service will try to help to narrow the possibilities by suggesting Tips. These could be using the model number format which often changes from decade to decade or may provide a link to additional product information or resources.

• Example 1
• Example 2

While usually very accurate, these Tips are not an exact science so must be taken with a grain of salt. If you have any doubts you can post a message in the Appliance411 Q&A Forum or contact the product manufacturer. If a tip is way off, I suggest someone triple check the input details. Even just a single character out of place or missing could easily affect results.

If no results are returned, double and triple check the information entered. Often examples of the expected serial number formats are displayed for you to compare to what you’ve actually entered.

Please don’t guess. If you don’t enter accurate information as found on the appliance’s identification tag you can’t hope to get accurate results.

Check the brand name entered. This service expects the brand name from the front of the appliance not the parent manufacturer’s name. For example enter “Frigidaire” if it is a Frigidaire not “Electrolux” whom manufactures Frigidaire products.

If you’re absolutely certain the information you’ve entered is correct, you can post a message in the Appliance411 Q&A Forum asking for assistance or check with the product manufacturer.

No. However if you’re certain the information entered is correct use the contact form at the bottom of the results page and we’ll try to assist. Otherwise If you need further personal assistance you can post a message in the Appliance411 Q&A Forum or contact the product manufacturer (which is not us).

We operated our previous dating service for over 10 years relying solely upon voluntary user donations to help offset our hosting costs and the time spent programming and continually updating the service. Unfortunately few seemed to appreciate the service enough to voluntary support our efforts. Those that did, I thank you! If you want this service to continue into the future it needs to start being worthwhile for us to maintain and expand its functionality.

Yes we did and may again. Unfortunately within the first 2 weeks of starting Much2.com more than 40 accounts were created using fake email addresses, taking advantage of our free trial offer. We will have to look into other alternatives. We did not want to discourage individual consumers’ use of our services and hope to offer it to them cheaply again.
