ICE-O-MATIC SERIAL FORMAT

Quick Example: Letter(month)-#(year) ##(model)-#####(count)-Z. So it would look like:A-010-00001-Z

To help you understand Ice-O-Matic's serial number sequence, please see below. The first digit of a serial number (Letter) constitutes the month in which the machine was manufactured:

  1990 + (O/X omitted)     2000 +
M January   A January
N February   B February
P March   C March
Q April   D April
R May   E May
S June   F June
T July   G July
U August   H August
V September   I September
W October   J October
Y November   K November
Z December   L December
      The second digit in the serial number constitutes the year the machine was manufactured:
i.e., 0 = 1990 (M-Z), 1 = 1991, 2 = 1992, 3 = 1993, 4 = 1994, 5 = 1995, 6 = 1996, 7 = 1997, 8 = 1998, 9 = 1999, 0 = 2000 (A-L).

The third and fourth digits represent the model of the machine: i.e., 10 = UC20 or EUC200, 11 = C20 or EC200, 12 = C40 or EC400, and so on;
And on newer models, 10 = ICEU200, 11 = ICE200, 12 = ICE400, 21 = EF250, 55 = GC800, and so on.. Please see the attached Model Designation Sheet for additional reference.

The fifth character in the serial number will be a dash, followed by five (5) numbers, another dash, and a "W" (or an "L" if this is a condenser). These numbers are a continuing count of the machines manufactured for that specific model. For example, the serial number A010-00001-Z would tell us that the machine is the first ICEU200 manufactured in January of 2000.
