I seem to remember that part of the reason the KitchenAid laundry line disappeared was part of the deal with the gubbernment to get the merger with Maytag approved - market share concerns, etc. were resolved and it also allowed WP to re-position Maytag as a premium quality brand with stepped-up features like KitchenAid used to have.

The only laundry machines KA now carries is the uber-expensive ProLine built-in set, but all the Ensembles that have been sold are still KitchenAid products so they'd be the source of finding service. Or, any independent appliance service that handles Whirlpool probably could also deal with KitchenAid. I've noticed that in these days of buying appliances at big-box stores that don't have service departments, there's typically concern about where to get service. Seems the days of buying at a local independent dealer who services the products he sells may be coming to an end. |
