Serial numbers are useful in determining the age of the
equipment and if it is under warranty. In some cases, the
serial number is describes as a code or W/N for warranty
number.
Garland used manufacturing date codes in addition to serial
numbers. Before 1986, the manufacturing code was always
F01. This indicated it was built in
Factory #1 and had no chronological meaning. Starting in
1986, these codes represented the date of manufacture. The
alphabetical character indicates the year and the two digits
indicate the month. See Table 1 for a listing of years and
months assigned.
Older Garland Serial Numbers
Equipment built in the Garland Freeland, Pa. plant used a six
digit serial number up to the mid 1990’s In table 2, you will
be able to tell approximately when the appliance was built.

Interim Garland Serial Numbers (1998-2007)
In January 1993, a revised serial number for Garland products was implemented. Our sister company Frymaster used this
system and Garland adapted it for its own use. The following is a break down of this format with the product codes.
