Decoding Your GE Refrigerator Serial Number: A Quick Reference Guide

Are you trying to locate the serial number of your GE refrigerator but having trouble deciphering the code? You're not alone! Many customers have reported encountering issues while registering their new appliances online, only to find out that their model number is deemed 'invalid'. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to decode your GE refrigerator's serial number, making it easier for you to register and access important documents.

First, let's identify the key differences between a model number and a serial number. While both are unique identifiers assigned to each appliance, they serve distinct purposes. A model number typically starts with letters followed by numbers, whereas a serial number usually begins with three numbers, followed by four letters, and then a series of numbers.

To locate your GE refrigerator's serial number, follow these simple steps:

1. Check the back or bottom of your appliance: The serial number is often printed on a sticker or plate located on the rear or underside of the refrigerator.

2. Look for the letters: Serial numbers typically start with three numbers followed by four letters. Make sure to note down both the numbers and letters.

3. Identify the subsequent numbers: After the letters, you'll find a series of numbers that make up the rest of the serial number.

Once you've successfully located your serial number, you can use it to:

* Register your appliance online

* Obtain an electronic PDF copy of your Owner Manual (visit our MANUALS - OWNERS & USERS webpage for more information)

* Report any issues or incidents to our Customer Information Center

In cases where the model number is deemed 'invalid', please don't hesitate to reach out to us. It may be due to a variety of reasons, including:

* The model number not being sold in the Canadian marketplace

* A miskeyed model number (it happens to all of us!)

* Our database of products requiring an update

By following this quick reference guide, you'll be able to locate and decode your GE refrigerator's serial number with ease. If you have any further questions or concerns, our Customer Information Center is always here to help.
