The model/serial tag on Perlick refrigeration is usually a printed sticker or metal plate on the interior wall or near the compressor compartment.
Inside the unit along the side or rear wall, or on a plate near the compressor compartment.
Perlick's current format is refreshingly simple — no letter cipher, no decade guesswork. The first 6 digits are a literal date:
Important limitation: Perlick changed to this format in April 2016. Older units use a different, undocumented sequential numbering system with no date encoded in it at all — if your Perlick appliance might be from before then, treat any result with extra caution, or give us a call and we can help estimate the age from the model and condition instead.
This tool is based on Perlick's publicly documented serial number format and is provided as a helpful estimate. It is not an official Perlick lookup service, and results should be treated as a best estimate rather than a certainty.
Enter the serial number from the model tag above. If it's the current format (April 2016 or later), we'll show you the exact manufacture date — day, month, and year.
Perlick switched serial number formats in April 2016. Older units used a different, undocumented sequential system with no date encoded — we won't guess at a date for those rather than risk giving you a wrong answer.
That's a plant code showing which Perlick facility built the unit (for example, Milwaukee or Monterrey) — it isn't part of the date and doesn't affect the decode.
Once you know how old your Perlick 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.
Same-day service available. $75 service call applied toward repair.
