OP is talking about Canada, where there always were some extra brand names around. Several months ago there was a "Victor" dryer from Canada discussed from the mid 60s...wouldn't be out of the range of possibility that there might have been an RCA branding as well (particularly after "Victor" ceased to be used.

Whirlpool did use the "Victor" of RCA Victor name for a limited time in Canada. I believe they were test marketing the brand but dropped it and then there was just Inglis.
Once GE aquired RCA in a buyout (1986) mostly to get control of Defense Contracts and NBC, GE did divide up RCA and sold electronics to Thomason (French) and RCA records to BMG and so forth. In the late 1980's & early 1990's GE appliance division was looking to re-invent their product line, so they introduce the RCA name into their appliance division with very little fanfare, and I believe there may have been some questionable marketing used, like remember your grandmothers RCA appliance's you can get that same great dependability today! Not sure if Whirlpool ever did anything about that since RCA only made Estate stoves and a/c's in the orginial RCA Victor Appliance Division, and this was the resaon that Whirlpool purchased the appliance division and went into a 10 marketing agreement with RCA to blend the two product lines together. However from the very begining Whirlpool had total control and they produced all the products, RCA just let them use their name and names ie "Victor" in Canada and that is how Whirlpool ended up with the "Estate" name, the only original thing kept from RCA Victor Appliance Division. | ||

WCI RCA Many years ago, I saw a late 60s-early 70s RCA in a scrap pile, and it was actually a Westy top loader under the badge. Gary | ||

Later models were still Whirlpool clones until they became Westinghouse-based around 1975.
Here's the 1975 RCA brochure that I recently sent to Robert:

In the pictures below are among the last of the previous models that were still Whirlpool-based. | ||
