Model number DDE8800GAL. What year was it made?

You did not say what make the drier is. Also, many driers have a date of manufacture stamped right on the nameplate. DrTom4444

It's a GE... DDE8200GALWH(correction on the model number)
Serial number: LV2 37448G
I don't remember seeing a date stamped on the nameplate. I've totally taken it apart twice.
Thanks for the reply

The date of manufacture is Feb, 2002 or 1990. Unless it's really ancient it must be 2002. (see: http://www.geappliances.com/search/fast/infobase/10000722.htm ) DrTom4444
