Whirlpool Water Heater Age: How To Find Year of Manufacture

This quick reference shows you how to determine your Whirlpool water heater age. Water heaters typically last 8-12 years, but there are instances when they can last much longer. Like most things, usage, maintenance, and installation type will determine how long the unit last.

You can determine the age by locating the serial number on the data sticker. Every Whirlpool water heater tank has a sticker on the side of the tank that displays the data information for the unit. On the sticker, you will see other information, such as:

Product Number
Tank Size, Capacity US GAL.
Volts – AC, Upper, and Lower Watts
Manufacturer Location

You will find two styles in the whirlpool water heater age. It looks like this:

The first two numbers are the year of manufacture. The following two numbers are the week of manufacture.
