In addition to details of how to de-code water heater age for all water heater brands we give six ways to determine the age of a water heater. We also discuss the conditions, maintenance, and factors that affect how long a water heater can be expected to last.
Here is a Heating Furnace or Boiler Data Decoding Document that Aids in Determining Water Heater Age. How long should a hot water maker or hot water heater last.

We give contact information for water heater, geyser, cylinder, calorifier manufacturers and for water heater installation, operation, & troubleshooting manuals.
Our photo at page top shows an oil fired water heater with a backpressure problem and other safety concerns like a missing extension tube on that relief valve, and maybe a missing draft regulator and perhaps an oil line that is not protected from damage.

Hotpoint® Water Heater Data Tag Decoding & Water Heater Age
By looking closely at the serial number it is possible to read the year and month (or week) in which a Hotpoint water heater was manufactured, thus to know the Hotpoint water heater age.

Reader question: can we move this Hotpoint water heater over an inch?
... here is a photo of my hot water heater data: here is a photo of my hot water heater data.
How old is my Hotpoint® water heater?
It still works fine. I don't understand how it can produce 50 gallons for its size. We wanted to move it over 1 inch to accommodate a new washing machine but it appears bolted to the floor.
I hate to mess with something that appears to be working fine but worry about the day that it stops. - Anonymous by private email 2016/07/19

Hotpoint Serial Number Decoder for Water Heater Age: Before 1980
Hotpoint water heaters prior to about 1980 such as those bearing the data tag shown above use serial numbers in the format
AAAWWYY
Your Hotpoint water heater data tag serial number looks like 1TU2270 leading me to guess that the last two digits may be the year of manufacture (70 in this example).
The preceding two digits (22 in this example) may be the week of manufacture.
Looks like this Hotpoint water heater or calorifier was made in 1970? Is that possible?
Hotpoint Serial Number Age Decoder, Water Heaters After 1980
Later Hotpoint water heaters, manufactured by Rheem, use serial numbers in the format shown in this photo of a Hotpoint water heater provided by reader Randy Coulter.
AA MMYY123456 begin with two letters (in position AA)
then follow with two digits of production month (in position MM and numbered 01-12)
followed by two digits of production year in position YY.
Hotpoint Catalog Number Decoder
The Hotpoint water heating calorifier or cylinder Catalong No. (or model number) is 100WBSC521035, leading me to guess that the catalog number, giving water heater features, decodes as follows:
Last four digits give the wattage of the top and bottom heating element as 35 = 3500 Watts, and 10 = 1000 Watts.
The data tag also indicates
- this is a 50-gallon water heater intended to operate on a 230/240VAC circuit
- the heater uses a single 3500W double-throw thermostat
- each circuit wiring to be 30A 125V / 25A 250 Volts
- a maximum working pressure of 127.5 lb (psi)
- the tank was tested to 300 lb (psi)
Bolted to floor - sounds as if you're in an earthquake zone. A bit of unbolting, re-plumbing, and then re-securing the heater to the structure would be required. A bit of work but perhaps justified if that's where you need to place your new washing machine.

On 2019-09-11 by (mod) - age of a Hotpoint water heater serial number PC 0806203893
Your serial nr is PC 0806203893
From the article above
Later Hotpoint water heaters, manufactured by Rheem, use serial numbers in the format AAMMYY123456 begin with two letters (in position AA)
then follow with two digits of production month (in position MM and numbered 01-12)
followed by two digits of production year in position YY.
So probably 08 = month. And 06 = year

On 2018-05-18 by Anonymous - when was my Hotpoint Model : HE40M06JAJ00 manufactured?
Michael,
to get the age of your HE40 Hotpoint 50 gallon water heater you will need to look at the serial number, not the 'model number'.
However I am GUESSING from the model number that this is one of the later, post 1980 Hotpoint water heaters manufactured by Rheem.
On 2018-05-17 by Michel Paradis
Model : HE40M06JAJ00
When was is fabricated?
On 2016-07-16 by (mod) age of Hotpoint electric water heaters
Judy for Hotpoint electric water heaters, the age is encoded in the heater's serial number, not the model nor catalogue number.
Take a look at the data tag on your heater.
If it is in the form RN0603123456 then the age is encoded in positions 3-4-5-6 starting from the left - so my example would be M M Y Y or 06 03 or the 6th month of 2003.
Some GE and Rheem heaters also use this encoding pattern.
As your heater is an old one it may use a different scheme. Use the page bottom or top CONTACT link to send me sharp photos of the data tag and of the whole heater and I can look at it further.

We have a Hotpoint Electric Water Heater Cataloque number 100WBSC521035. It was here when we bought the house 25 years ago. It says 50 gallons on it but it is the size and shape of the washer and dryer which sit on either side of it. I am worried that it will cease to work sometime and I don't have a clue where to look for a similar new one.
