Years ago, I had a BD Kenmore that was made in Canada, the model # started with C, and it was bi lingual, French, and English.

potatochips, with regards to reply# 8, there was a 10 program BD Kenmore washer sold in Canada in the early to mid 80's. It was basically the same as the 8 program version, except separated the Cottons/Sturdy and Permanent Press programs into Whites and Colors. It also had an automatic setting on the water temperature control which let the timer select the appropriate water temperatures, but this could have existed on the 8 program version as well.

There is a YouTube video of this washer, I have linked it below.

This is the BD washer I am hoping to find someday, but would also settle for the 8 program model.

Pete, Thanks for your offer but you should keep your Filter Flo! I had to give away my Eaton Viking Filter Flo washer because I had too many! I can't fit them all at home and I still have a lot stored in my other garage, I still need to figure how to store at least a car there before the end of October!

Yes! The 10 program machine also had the extra rinse option as well

Phil, nice RCA machine! My great aunt had the matching dryer.

the kenmore set in reply #8 when my grand father passway my grandmother needed to replace her washer she went with the 6 program washer that you posted and 1 of my aunts add the 6 program kenmore washer with a black console and chrome knob and you might be suprise but my grandmother vintage dryer lasted her 40 years from the 1970 to 2009 and in 2009 she own her first direct drive washer it was also the last washer she bough since around 2014 she had to move to a nursing home.

I don't think you can get more Canadian than this one... my 1958 Dominion automatic!  It was made in Canada, by the Beatty Brothers company in Fergus, Ontario - they also sold washers and other appliances under the Beatty name and these outlasted the Dominion brand.   There are a couple of oddities about this machine - the design was patented by Easy in Canada and I have seen evidence that links this style of washer to the elusive Zenith automatics.  Dominion went away in 1961 and Beatty's washers were based on a Blackstone design until the mid to late 60s.    Gotta hook this up again soon and play with it!!
