The dryer is very Whirlpoolish, the filter location especially, and the door too. From what I can see of the agitator, looks like Whirlpool to me. James |

I believe these are Whirlpool made Kenmores for the Canadian market as some others have said. I am not sure if they were made IN Canada or just for Canada. I have never heard of a Whirlpool plant in Canada, but that certainly doesn't mean there was not one. With a washer plant in St. Joe Michigan until the 1980s and with the huge Clyde plant in Ohio, WP probably had enough capacity near enough to the Canadian border through Windsor or Buffalo, etc. to handle Canada. I'd love to know why different cabinets where used and different dryer doors, along with the different panels. Seems like that would only add to cost. I've been told that some Canadian sold belt drives were made in Brazil through Brastemp. Not sure of the validity there either, but Brastemp did make belt drives after US production stopped, and some of our replacement belt-drive parts continue to come from there, as well some of the last of NLA parts did as well. |
