Are you not aware of what LEAP means?
Laundry Engineered Advanced Product from what I understand.
LEAP was just the Program and Engineering code name.
We use those all the time.
One of Whirlpool’s dishwasher control board was called Skywalker.
Many projects i’m on, are named after towns, rivers, or James Bond villains.

Wow! I never knew that. What name did Whirlpool give their dryer platforms? I'm aware of their Dryer Of Tomorrow Today 27 inch platform, which the Whirlpool and Maytag commercial units are based off of if I'm not mistaken. I believe the acronym was DOTT.

Samsung also apparently uses code names for washer and dryer versions. Ace, Squall, Frontier, Potomac, and Grace are a some I've seen referenced on service manuals.
Seems to me that Whirlpool and Samsung are the coolest manufacturers, especially Whirlpool.
I have at least two Samsung products: my dishwasher and my stove... My new washer and dryer are both Maytags, so that leaves my refrigerator and microwave wondering to replace with...

What about Whirlpool or Frigidaire?
Are your refrigerator and microwave oven in need of replacement?
No, those are the two original appliances my house came with that luckily are still working...
However, I will not be as able to find a great refrigerator like that one--it is most-perfectly designed and even has a name-plate, not the name on the door...
As for the microwave, it's an over-the-range model that will be hard to remove and install a new one of...
That would be nice to have a Samsung of and with a blue LED display to match my newer range's of below, in stead of the old green one...

In regards to Maytag's demise: When you take Gub'mint regulations imposed by bureaucrats who know nothing about real world problems, and combine it with with Maytag Inc. bean counters, designing machines by cutting costs, you get DEATH. Olde Maytag, it was good to know ye, and I treasure my 23 year old Atlantis.

Unfortunately most of the "experts" advising those in power are college educated morons who have no common sense or real world experience.

Why do you think quality in appliances and quality of life in cities has gotten so rotten? Don't you think it just might be because of those in power are making decisions that mean $$$$ for them, but the results are terrible for the rest of us? That's my 2 cents. They hire experts who will tell them what they want to hear--all others need not chime in.
