I've always been a little hazy about who made JC Penney washers like the one shown in today's POD. The controls look very GE, and the agitator and left-opening lid look like Hotpoint. Did GE own and make Hotpoint laundry by that time?
Hope someone can set the record straight for me. Thanks, as always, for sharing your expertise on such matters. | ||

Eugene, Hotpoint has been a division of the General Electric Co. since 1918. I've seen JCP ranges that were Hotpoint, too. | ||

Sorry for the double... The first time I posted this (GE/Hotpoint/JCP), it somehow got deleted. Gary | ||

The thing about JC PENNEY appliances is they were never as successful as Ward's or Sears...
GE even authorized its own service to repair JC P. appliances, in addition to its own General Electric & Hotpoint brands (although you still occasionally would see a JC Penney truck performing this function)... Unlike the Ward Signature & Sears Kenmore Coldspot brands, the attitude among appliance buyers must'a been "Why not just get the "real deal"????", if the Penney/Penncrest brands looked so much like the "Hotpoint umbrella" they were under... -- Dave | ||
