Age question

I have a Luxaire model SHIP 30FCD serial 188405940193
looked in Preston’s & don’t see it. maybe i’m missing it

help is appreciated

This is what I have without going to get my Preston’s, problem being, I see no letters in your Serial number. I’ll check some more:
**
Luxaire
**Note: they skip the letters I, O, Q, U, Z.
Year of make indicated by 3rd letter in the serial number.
1971 – A 1972 – B 1973 – C 1974 – D 1975 – E 1976 - F
1977 – G 1978 – H 1979 – J 1980 – K 1981 – L 1982 – M
1983 – N 1984 – P 1985 – R 1986 – S 1987 – T 1988 - V
1989 – W 1990 – X 1991 – Y 1992 – A 1993 – B 1994 - C
1995 – D 1996 – E 1997 – F 1998 – G 1999 – H 2000 - J
2001 – K 2002 – L 2003 – M 2004 – N 2005 – P 2006 - R

that’s what I was seeing - no letters in Serial no#

Mike, a mistake that I have made on occasion is copying down a product number or something else accidentally, instead of a model or serial number. May I suggest double checking the label to make sure you didn’t do that same thing?

Not always. In fact, Luxaire can have all sorts of different varieties of serial number coding.

I do think there are some letters or numbers missing or misread in the serial number. Depending on what’s missing/misread, I think it’s a 1984 unit, or a 1994 unit, or a 1993 unit.

How’s that for being definitive? :margarit:

Mike,

Luxaire was formerly part of Westinghouse and is now part of York.

The serial number sequence (that you have listed) are not in my reference materials at all. Give them a call tomorrow and please post their information here, so we all can learn the code sequence.

I always check for an ANSI number. I was taught that you can come within 3 years of the mfg. date by the ANSI number.

After checking many ANSI dates, I find that the ANSI date on boilers and furnaces can have a window of 6-8 years apart.

That’s better than nothing.

thanks
might have mis read the no#
