Kenmores and RCA's in Canada

That KM DW is Pure Whirlpool as Appnut said. So is the RCA dryer next to it. It looks very much like a late 60's/early 70's US Whirlpool. Also the Admiral machines in the US during the time frame of the machine shown were of a Norge rather than Kenmore/Whirlpool design.

Were RCA-badged Whirlpool appliances still available in the US?  My aunt also had an early seventies RCA dishwasher which was a Whirlpool clone.

Nice pix. Looks you guys had a great time. I'm amazed at all the different symbols on the machine there. I wish we had symbols on more products here in the states.

French/English controls

Maybe Phil or Paul could answer this.
I'm not sure what the requirements are or if there are any. It seems to me that it was only for a period that white goods like washer/dryers and stoves had both French and English on the controls, 70's 80's perhaps and then back to English only. Or do they have French only etc for models sold in Quebec?

No, they went back to english only.  French was displayed mostly on some late seventies to mid-eighties models.
