I have a Hotpoint dishwasher from the 80's thats made under GE.
Did the Hotpoint factory ever make GE appliances?

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.
