If any one can help. I need to find the year my sears air conditioner was made. The serial # is 2760313841. the model # is 769.813750.
By watching the post and answer by Larry D. Kage I have learned that sears manufacture date is in its serial number. Lets diagnosis your Serial no 2760313841, here if we remove first letter 2nd and third letter are 7 and 6. So most provably the year of manufacturing is 1976. http://www.dpeservices.com/ is a site for service at your door step, their tech’s are experienced.
