Who owns Whirlpool?

Whirlpool Corporation owns a portfolio including Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana and JennAir. Its completed March 2006 acquisition brought Maytag, Amana and Jenn-Air into that portfolio; these are ownership relationships, not blanket statements of product equivalence. [2][3]

Who actually makes Whirlpool products?

The 2025 annual report explicitly identifies Whirlpool and Maytag top-load laundry as manufactured in Marion and Clyde, Ohio. This is stronger evidence than assigning every appliance to the corporation’s headquarters. Refrigerators, cooking products and laundry need separate model-level checks. [1]

Where are Whirlpool products made?

Ohio is a confirmed laundry production location. The report also says approximately 91% of major appliances sold in Brazil came from Brazilian factories and 63% sold in Mexico came from Mexican factories. Those figures describe their respective markets and must not be applied to US purchases. [1]

Is Whirlpool made in China or the USA?

Yes, Whirlpool manufactures in the United States. The June 2026 release says approximately 80% of the corporation’s major appliances sold in the US are produced in US factories. This corporate figure is not a claim that every Whirlpool product, or every component, is American-made. [3]

Same factory, different label

The 2025 report puts Whirlpool and Maytag top-load laundry in the same Ohio manufacturing discussion. KitchenAid and Amana also share the corporate parent. Shared ownership alone does not prove identical internals, model specifications or assembly lines. [1][2]
