- POST a QUESTION or COMMENT about how long a water heater can be expected to last
- Jan 05, 2013 I have a Nordyne Intertherm water heater manufactured in 2004 mode IN140NHDST2. It is installed in a manufactured home. We have lived in this home for 3 years, all of a sudden this afternoon every time the water heater kicks on there is a burning plastic smell.

My Intertherm Nordyne water heater has both upper and lower thermostats. Where I live there are numerous power outages and on occasion I've had to push the red reset button on the upper thermostat; about a week ago another outage caused the circuit breaker to engage and cut the power off. Whenever I reset the breaker the water heater would trip off.

How to De-Code the Data Tag on an Inter-Therm Water Heater - Age Determination
Intertherm Water Heater Age Decoding Guide
Query: Hi, can you tell me the date an Intertherm water heater was made?
Model #IHMS960E4 - Serial #K07433029
Reply: best guess 1974
From the serial number, look at the first four digits of the serial number KO 74 - where the format is MM YY for the production month and year. Most likely this unit was made in 1974.
Another example, using Inter therm model #HE40-240SH and the Serial # 078318181 we would decode the date of manufacture as MM YY in the first four digits or July 1983.
A third Intertherm water heater decoding example using digits 3-4 as production month and digits 5-6 as production year we would decode Serial # AB039912345 as having been produced in March 1999.
