When did Maytag take over Jenn-AIr?

[barmesa]

Today at the local Habitat for Humanity store (Phoenix), I purchased a built-in Jenn-air double convection oven to replace the nearly identical Jenn-Air double NON-convection oven orginal to the house (1997). It is in like new condition, and for 70% off the $188 marked price (for an unbelievable $56, with 30 day warranty!!), how could I say no?

The appliance person said they pulled it out of a local house during a remodel...

I noticed the serial # tag of the one I bought is marked as Jenn-Air, Indianapolis, IN (model WW272190W), while the existing model in the house is marked as Maytag, Cleveland, TN (model WW27110W). They are nearly idenical in appearance (except fot the 'convect roast' and 'convect bake' buttons, so it will be an easy swap, but I am suspecting the 'real Jenn-Air' model is a couple years older?

Any one know when Maytag took over?

This says that Maytag bought Jenn-Air in 1982... (see link)

I've known of Maytag being Jenn-Air's parent company at least for the past 15 years. Guess it was a bit longer.

No wonder it's all about fans! Thanks guys.

But of course, Little Fred, as a vacuum guy this is not at all foreign to you........

(So they call the bald one of The Three Stooges "Curly" So I guess we can guess where your nickname comes from.......)
