The 2012 report does not verify every current Roper washer or any dryer’s physical maker. [1]

Who is behind Roper washers?

The official RTW4516FW warranty lists Roper among Whirlpool Corporation or Whirlpool Canada LP brands. Warranty responsibility is distinct from the USITC’s direct production evidence. [2]

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.

Questions people ask

What does the source say about the production location?

The United States is explicitly named in the report’s Roper production statement. That historical category evidence does not independently locate every Roper washer offered in 2026. [1]

Which details distinguish this evidence?

USITC footnote 3 lists Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Admiral, Amana and Crosley, then separately describes OEM supply. LRWs means large residential washers; the statement is about that category. [1]
