The information I have found online is:
Determine the month of manufacture based on the first letter of the serial number. The letters correspond to the month in this order -- A: January, D: February, F: March, G: April, H: May, L: June, M: July, R: August, S: September, T: October, V: November and Z: December
Begin to determine the year of manufacture based on the second letter. GE uses 12 letters, which repeat every 12 years. The letters used and the initial year for each letter are as follows -- A: 1977, D: 1978, F: 1979, G: 1980, H: 1981, L: 1970, M: 1971, R: 1972, S: 1973, T: 1974, V: 1975 and Z: 1976.
Add multiples of 12 to the letter date year of the appliance until you obtain an appropriate year of manufacture. For example, if the second letter is an R, the appliance was produced in 1972, 1984, 1996 or 2008.
This is where I found the information.
It looks like the year codes I've listed are off, but if you combine my month codes with GE101R's year codes we might get somewhere.
Okay on further looking I have found this table that gives a clear breakdown of the codes.
Thanks for the help. I have found that GE appliance date codes are totally separate from GE street light date codes. Similar but different on some aspects.
