Sears washers and dryers by GE

24

As an aside in referrence to 24" laundry centers. Here are two made by Whirlpool. The one on the left, badged as a WP and the other a newer Kenmore that's the same. I think only the 27" right now are Electrolux/Frigidaire/WCI are whatever they call themselves right now.

Sears Source Codes

I have a book somewhere that reveals each vendor under the Kenmore name, only one I know for sure is Whirlpool's and that is 110.

The source code is the first part of the model number.

When I was a driver for Trailways between 1992-1998, I used to drive up to Oneonta, NY and they had a Sears appliance outlet store there. I've spent some of my brief 30 minuet lunch hour there and the new right extra wide swing doors Kenmore's where not Whirlpool or GE products but Frigidaire's. Anyone who loves a Kenmore can spot this imposter a mile away because of the way the rear interior bulkhead was designed!

I think Whirlpool had problems with one of their over-seas factories (A Strike) and they had no choice but to farm the work out to Frigidaire to keep the people of Sears happy to avoid from losing a major account!
