The date of manufacture is actually determined by the SERIAL NUMBER on your appliance. If this is a Whirlpool, the following link explains how to determine how old the appliance is:

The 1st 2 NUMBERS in the serial number determine the week it was manufactured. Just count the weeks of the year on a calendar and this will tell you the MONTH.
The 2nd digit in the serial number determines the YEAR it was manufactured.
If you have any questions about how to determine this on your appliance, post back with your serial number and I can explain it for you. I hope this helps you.
How can the first two numbers be the week, and the second number, which is part of the week, be the year? Does not make sense, and does not work.
