The Original Mixerology KitchenAid Mixer Date Decoder

Est. April 2024

Use the form below to find out when your KitchenAid® mixer was manufactured. You’ll find the serial number on the label underneath the base of the mixer. (When you turn it over to look, use a towel or other soft pad to protect the finish.)

Your serial number label may look like any of these; look for the “Serial” callout and a 9-figure serial number beginning with “W”:

Have you got an iPhone or iPad? If so, use the Mixerology app, available in the App Store. The app will decode the serial number labels on mixers manufactured by Whirlpool after 1986, and provides information about the model type, as well. All you need to is point your device’s camera at the label, and the app does all the rest.

If your serial number label looks like the photo below, it’s from a pre-Whirlpool mixer manufactured by Hobart. The first three digits in the serial number are the day of the year in which it was manufactured, and the last two digits are the year of manufacture. (In this example: November 14, 1983, the 318th day of 1983.)

This form doesn’t work for Hobart serial numbers.

Note: This form only decodes serial numbers. It does not store the serial numbers, nor does it send them anywhere. Please refer to the privacy policy on the About page, and feel free to write in if you have any questions.
