Dexter Model and Serial Number breakdown

[Archie Lord]

Hi All,

Happy 2022! (from Australia at least)

Can anyone help me how to breakdown the model and serial number of Dexter Machines? As in what the numbers mean, how old the machine is, etc.
As I’ve had some people tell me the following number 2070100497059 means the age is 2007 and another one says it is 2001.

I am looking at purchasing some Dexter used equipment and want to look at refurbishing it so want to make sure I understand the breakdown of models etc. before purchasing parts

Below are some example serial numbers.

Model #: WCAD50KCS-21CRSZ
Serial #: 2100800527229

Model #: WCAD18KCS-21CR
Serial #: 2070100497059

Model #: DDAD30KCS-39CR
Serial #: 2100600215500

I really wish someone had replied to this. I have the same question about decoding Dexter serial numbers. There’s pretty much nothing showing up in google searches on this. I spoke with a local Dexter rep who didn’t know. Would be so nice to understand the breakdown, like a VIN on a car.

I found some answers so I’m sharing the wealth! Big props to the support team at Dexter who were super helpful in providing this info.
Example: 2050300199999
For machines 1997-2014
Digit 1 is century, i.e. 1900 or 2000
Digit 2 and 3 are year. E.g. 05 is 2005
Digit 4 and 5 is month E.g. 03 is March

For newer machines
1st digit is Washer or Dryer
1st 2 digits after the dot are year.
next 2 digits are days of year.

So for newer machines, I have one washer and dryer example. Am I correct with these?
model no. WC0600XB-12EC4X-SSBCS
serial no. W1.24162.004
162 days into 2024

and

model no. DC30X2BC-15EC2X-SWBSG
serial no. D1.19129.040
129 days into 2019
