Typically GE machines had a thicker control panel here in Canada. Ge marketed BOL, MOL, and TOL machines as Encore, Medallion, and Talisman, respectively.

GE dishwashers looked like this. Ive never seen anything more TOL than the one I have, Ive never seen an electronic one like the 2800 up here.

Carrying on with symbols, Inglis used the bulbous control panel WP used in the US during the 80s, we saw it in the 70s.

Here is what the FIRST DD machines in Canada looked like from Kenmore. Very early 90s. Timer selection on the washer didnt have time increments, just a point and start!

Just before NAFTA introduced us to the DD washer Kenmore sold in the late 90s up until the late 2000s, this was what we had. Handsome machines.

Througout the 80s, Kenmore dishwashers looked like this, mimicking the woodgrain on the washer and dryers. These are powerclean machines.

Oh, and one last one from the 70s! Again, note the timer labeling and the solid grey basket.

McClary was a GE rebrand, responsible for most one-dial wonders and exclusively BOL machines in Canada.

Viking, the house brand for Eatons (a competitor to The Bay), used Westinghouse junk-washers for their dishwashers until the early 80s.

 The GE filter flo in your reply 2 and the Kenmore dryer in reply 8 are the identical machines we bought back in the 80's and are still using today although the washer is "semi-retired" but working perfectly since I got that free WP Duet a couple of months ago..
Phil.. if you're down this way again maybe you could take my GE back with you. Provided the Duet doesn't break beforehand LOL. | ||

potatochips, with regards to reply# 8, there was a 10 program BD Kenmore washer sold in Canada in the early to mid 80's. It was basically the same as the 8 program version, except separated the Cottons/Sturdy and Permanent Press programs into Whites and Colors. It also had an automatic setting on the water temperature control which let the timer select the appropriate water temperatures, but this could have existed on the 8 program version as well.
There is a YouTube video of this washer, I have linked it below. This is the BD washer I am hoping to find someday, but would also settle for the 8 program model. CLICK HERE TO GO TO barcoboy's LINK | ||

Pete, Thanks for your offer but you should keep your Filter Flo! I had to give away my Eaton Viking Filter Flo washer because I had too many! I can't fit them all at home and I still have a lot stored in my other garage, I still need to figure how to store at least a car there before the end of October!

the kenmore set in reply #8 when my grand father passway my grandmother needed to replace her washer she went with the 6 program washer that you posted and 1 of my aunts add the 6 program kenmore washer with a black console and chrome knob and you might be suprise but my grandmother vintage dryer lasted her 40 years from the 1970 to 2009 and in 2009 she own her first direct drive washer it was also the last washer she bough since around 2014 she had to move to a nursing home.

 I don't think you can get more Canadian than this one... my 1958 Dominion automatic! It was made in Canada, by the Beatty Brothers company in Fergus, Ontario - they also sold washers and other appliances under the Beatty name and these outlasted the Dominion brand. There are a couple of oddities about this machine - the design was patented by Easy in Canada and I have seen evidence that links this style of washer to the elusive Zenith automatics. Dominion went away in 1961 and Beatty's washers were based on a Blackstone design until the mid to late 60s. Gotta hook this up again soon and play with it!! | ||
