This page covers the existing assembly portfolio at that time, with expansion still planned, and does not identify an exclusive supplier or origin for every later model or serial number. [4]

Is KitchenAid dishwashers made in China or the USA?

US dishwasher manufacturing is supported for Whirlpool’s Findlay operations. The group-wide US production percentage does not establish the origin of every KitchenAid dishwasher. [2] [3]

Same factory, different label

KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana and JennAir share a parent. This evidence does not establish that any pair of dishwashers has identical racks, pumps, controls or assembly lines. [1]

Where was your washing machine made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Locate the rating plate without removing panels or moving a heavy appliance.
  2. Record the model, serial number and any country-of-origin statement.
  3. Ask the manufacturer about that exact unit if the plate does not state an origin.
