The model/serial tag is usually a printed sticker or metal plate. Common locations by appliance type:
Inside the fridge compartment, along the side wall, or behind the crisper/produce drawer.
Inside the door frame, on the front-facing edge, or on the back of the top panel.
Inside the door frame, or on the inside of the lint filter housing.
On the edge of the door, visible when the door is open.
Fisher & Paykel encodes the manufacture date into the first two characters of the serial number, using two clever letter ciphers spelling out brand-related words:
Why we show more than one possible year: the "CUMBERLAND" cipher only tells you the last digit of the year, not the decade. Our tool shows every realistic candidate year rather than guessing — here's how to narrow it down further:
This tool is based on Fisher & Paykel's publicly documented serial number format and is provided as a helpful estimate. It is not an official Fisher & Paykel lookup service, and results should be treated as a best estimate rather than a certainty.
Enter the serial number from the model tag above. We'll decode the year and month letters and show you every realistic manufacture year that digit could match.
Fisher & Paykel spells out these words as an easy-to-remember cipher for their date codes — each letter stands for a digit or month. It's a real, documented part of their serial number format, not a coincidence.
Because that's genuinely all the serial number tells you — the year cipher only encodes the last digit. Any tool claiming a single certain year from a Fisher & Paykel serial alone is guessing at the decade.
Once you know roughly how old your Fisher & Paykel appliance is, our technicians can help you decide whether a repair still makes sense — try our Repair or Replace tool or call us for a same-day estimate.
