How similar IS this to the Kenmore of the same era? My understanding is that Whirlpool was making the Kenmore machines back then. Are they basically the same machine? However, Kenmore doesn't advertise a 7 rinse angle. I know its been posted before but when did Whirlpool stop making the Kenmores? | ||

Through most of my lifetime it was
I think GE assimilated RCA and then snuffed it. Ironically, the last RCA Washing Machines that I remember from the late 1980's were GE/Hotpoint Filter-flo's rebadged with the RCA logo. You may also remember that when GE acquired the famous RCA building in Rockefeller Center it became rebadged as the "GE building". | ||
