RCA(?) washer/Maytag dryer $40

[fan-of-fans]

Interesting set, I can’t quite tell but it looks like the washer has the RCA brand. Haven’t seen one under that name before, appears to be a late model FilterFlo/RimFlo era unit with the slanted white console.

Console on the Maytag dryer seems a little unusual as well.

GE was involved with RCA's establishment way back at the beginning circa 1919, through 1932.  They acquired RCA again for a while in 1986.

I have a 1992 RCA branded rim flo.

Why am I not surprised and even more impressed with your collection. lol

GE did put the RCA name on some bol models around the mid 90s for a bit. I remember going to an appliance/furniture "super store", as I often did yearly, and noticed what appeared to be a typical GE almond top freezer frig... but it had the RCA label on it and was confused. I knew a GE frig and that it was.

But I didn't have a fine website like AW.org to educated me on all the details.

Make way for the BOL train!

 

I'd put more trust in that dryer than most of the junk today.

I have seen the RCA name on 90s era ranges. There’s one neighborhood near here built around 1993-94 and the original ranges looked like lower end GE electric ranges in white, but branded RCA.

But on a washer I’ve never seen it before.

You are presumably referring to RCA-only and are aware of the RCA Whirlpool branding from around 1957 to 1967?

Yeah, they wanted to utilize the RCA trademark which they had "on the shelf". It let them sell to another group of retailers (similarly to Hotpoint) and not compete with their established GE retailers, thus broadening the market for machines coming from Louisville. Win-win!
