F&P is still . . .
. . . offered at my dealer in North Carolina. It's a mom and pop type store that sells only appliances. But the big box stores such as Lowes and Home Depot do not display F&P. However, I understand F&P can be ordered.
I've been told that F&P no longer offers the top load dryer because of new fire regulations on dryers in general. The new F&P dryer is basically a GE, but still maintains the reversing tumble mechanism AND has a glass door so that "fools" like me can watch the action.
I have yet to be disappointed in a F&P product that I have bought which includes the washer and dryer, the dish drawers, and a gas cooktop.
