I see the date on that Kelvinator washer advert is April of 78'. I never knew that Kelvinator made appliances that late. I always thought of them as a mid 50's brand that faded away around 1960 or so.

In appliance stores that I seemed to frequent (including the HUGE Polk Bros. of Chicago) I never saw any Kelvinator appliances. What kind of stores sold Kelvinator?

By 1978, Allen,

it was White Consolidated Industries, not real Kelvinator.

Louie- thank you for these interesting threads!

Around here (Central WI) in 1978, Kelvinator appliances were used by home builders as the appliances that came with a new home.  I had several relatives that built new homes at that time, and they all had them.  Needless to say, they weren't around long because of durability issues.

I recently looked at a Kelvinator chest freezer when I was in Wasserstrom restaurant supply. Electrolux in still using the Kelvinator name for their line of commercial freezers and refrigerators.

Yep, I just went to their site.

Love the RCA Whirlpool IceMagic Ad.

I wonder if Whirlpool had the upper hand for awhile with having the first Ice Makers. Does anyone know how long it took for everyone else to follow in their footsteps. I am sure they had to come up with their own designs since Whirlpool had the patents on their system.
