How old is my Indesit appliance?

Indesit appliances use serial numbers on the rating label. A single generic date decoder has not been verified for all current and historic Indesit formats.

What number do I need?

For Indesit, the checker asks for the Serial number. The number is printed on the appliance rating plate or data label. Its exact location depends on the appliance type.

• Washing machines and dryers: usually inside the door opening or around the frame.
• Dishwashers: often along the top or side edge of the open door.
• Ovens: usually around the frame visible when the door is open.
• Fridges and freezers: commonly on an inside side wall or near the drawers.

Can the manufacture year be determined?

The rating label can be identified, but no universal date rule has been verified for this checker, so it will not invent an age.

The checker deliberately separates a manufacture date from a purchase date. A machine can sit in distribution or retail stock before it is sold.

Why the checker may refuse a number

Manufacturers can change serial formats across countries, factories, model ranges and time periods. A number that does not match a verified rule is not treated as evidence of a specific age. In that situation the checker gives a clear “Age can’t be determined from this number for this brand” result.
