I'm sure the refrigerator is Frigidaire, the dishwasher looks to be Whirlpool, and guessing the range is GE or Hotpoint.

Kenmore DW. Beautiful set!

Very nice indeed!  

 

But what an odd location for the DW, without a sink anywhere in sight.  To load it, it would be next to impossible to keep from dripping water all over the floor if you rinsed any of the dishes before loading.

The "Hotpoint" stove has the '70's woodgrain GE refrigerator handle on the oven.

That does look like a GE sidexside door handle from the same era, but shortened, obviously.

 

dw. is Whirlpool.

 

Somebody likes to keep things waxes, have to respect that.

 

This looks like an early 60s kitchen, before dws were normalized.  I'd estimate there was originally a cabinet between the frig and stove they removed to add the new dishwasher in 1973ish.  That's about how old all the appiances look with the exception of the micro and rangehood from the 80s, imo.

That Whirlpool made Kenmore dw is a mystery. It has a the 70s whirlpool console with long narrow vent in left corner but newer 80s graphics and a pre-77 shaded coffee door panel.

We have to remember it's Canadian so different models.

The door panels must be carry overs from the dw that was there before because it's shaded on only 3 sides. There must have been a matching access panel to complete the set but because this type Whirlpool dw usually has the fixed, texured black access panel there was no way to use that bottom painted panel from the old dw.

Given the attention this homeowner has shown to wax everything so well I can believe they'd retain the panels.

A number of dishwashers, the built-in models in particular, included a coppertone (and usually also harvest gold) panel well into the 80s.  My first house had a 2 year old GE Potscrubber II that had a coppertone panel and that was back in 1989!  At the house in St-Lib, we have a late 80s Maytag WU400 and it also has a coppertone panel.  I don't recall coppertone being _that_ popular here up here...

Right the color panels were thrown in but were they shaded? That's a hold over from the 60s and early 70s, at least in the U.S.

I do believe that range is a GE.  Must be a Canadian product as I've never run across one that looks like that.  It's beautiful!  I think I can make out a 'GE' logo just to the right of the oven controls.

The stacked burner controls are a dead giveaway that this was a Canadian-built stove-the funky handles as well. If not GE, D/W probably would have been Inglis---not sure if WP was in Canada per se that early. I am wondering about GE on the label for the D/W, though--was there a period when GE needed to use WP to source a Canadian D/W (remember they never built in Canada with plastic tubs--the Talisman which you see around some of these threads weren't perma-tuf when they were produced), That label and dial/buttons looks like a dead ringer for the (C)GE label which has been seen in the past.

Why is the Left Rear surface unit control the dial for the minute minder?

Tom, I don't think it is.

Per Pic #7 above, the LR is labeled Max - Med - Min, as are the RR and RF.

LF is labeled in °F so apparently is (or was) a sensor-burner (375°F is labeled Fry, 225°F seems to be Boil).

Mid-panel from the left .... Oven Temp, Oven Selector, Start / Stop time, Minute Timer on the clock, Temp Probe.

Thank you, Glenn. You are right. I guess my vision is cockeyed; I saw the 0 and the lines and did not read the words--not that I have ever seen a control marked that way. Those markings remind me of the report in the NYT on induction cookers by food writers one of whom stated that the heat went from insanely hot to very hot to hot. Clearly someone used to cooking with gas who had no idea of how heat levels work with electricity; just figured that if there were all of those settings around High, they were meant to be used. Even during a heat wave when his kitchen was too hot to cook in with the gas stove, he would not use the induction cooker.

Makes of

Cnadian appliances also include Beaumark. Was that an Eaton's brand?
