Besides selling appliances under its own name, the company owns a range of other brands, including Kitchen Aid, Roper and Sub Zero. Whirlpool appliances, including stoves, code the manufacture date into the serial number. For a Whirlpool stove, the model number will include the year the stove model was introduced but not the year of production.
