GE washers...

Hey guys. What's going to be new for GE washers going forward? I heard they're working on adding jobs to the laundry factory at Appliance Park.

At Face Value, that seems good.
However, the bottom line is about quality, and where the parts are being made.
If an American-built GE but with Korean guts, I'd be suspicious.
Hopefully not the case.

What's your source for that information?

I'm curious about what's under the hood. I hate when manufacturers like GE say they're American-made, only to be disgusted at what's inside. Chinese and Korean parts. What the heck?

The FTC has set down strict laws governing the labeling of products.
Two major definitions are...
"Made In The USA" - must have all substantial parts manufactured and sourced locally.
and...
"Assembled In The USA" - The “assembly” that takes place in the U.S. must involve a substantial transformation of the product.
