Love that Catalog.
I had no idea they made Single rack dishwashers and Commercial Kitchen Equipment back then.

Did the Hotpoint factory ever make GE appliances?

Dave just wondering if u could possibly post some scans of ur 1982 ge catalog "washer and dryer" pages only? I've been looking for quite some time now for the right year catalog that advertises my ge filter flo model I have and can't seem to find it. I bought a 1981 ge catalog here recently off eBay an it advertises the wood grain backsplash models. Here is a pic of my ge filter flo

Looks like
part of it still stands at 5600 w. Taylor. Chicago Studio occupies the later addition. The water tower legs of the old building are in a parking lot across the street. Some single story factory building can also be seen.

I have a Hotpoint dishwasher from the 80's thats made under GE.
HP tank
Hotpoint tank dishwasher, aka poercelain on steel. I some times call them a Hotpoint tank because it differentiates them from the old plastisol tubs with the GE name on them.

That building was knocked down.
5600 was knocked down in its entirety. It actually was a small building. Up and down the block were a series of dissimilar buildings large and small all devoted to appliance production. Perhaps some of them survive.
We took a picture of the front door as well as we knew the building was going away. Carved in stone was
"Edison Electric Company" I believe. It certainly was not General Electric nor Hotpoint.
Sunbeam was directly across the street.

Yes, many Canadian GE machines have some HP features, like the porcelain on steel tub. I have a GE machine with this that I'll be doing a spotlight on shortly.

Let's ask our friends across the pond. They know all too well about any and every Hotpoint?

I know that back in the 50's and 60's GE seemed to be the preferred builder's brand to use in many new homes here at least. I think they must have been cheaper to buy.
GE gave builders a gift that kept on giving for GE. When a builder bought GE builtin cooking appliances, they got a builtin dishwasher for something like $10 which made the kitchen look more deluxe and fully equipped as well as ensuring a replacement market for GE or some other brand of dishwasher for decades to come.

Speaking of that, the Decatur, Alabama plant is still open and makes builder-grade refrigerators.
