Boycott all Whirlpool appliances and tell them about it here.

Regarding this article about Whirlpool taking tax payers money and then moving their factories
to Mexico.

Please contact them using this form to tell them that you
will be boycotting all Whirlpool appliances (and make sure you boycott all Whirlpool appliances!)

Maybe we can nip it in the bud if we start the boycott now.

Also can you all send this information to your email lists? The more the better.

Thanks,

Some appliances sold by Sears is made by Whirlpool for Kenmore brand. Not all Kenmores are whirlpools however.

5. More brands under Whirlpool name

The Whirlpool Corporation, based in Benton Harbor, Mich., makes Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Gladiator products. The company has gobbled up Admiral, Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Maytag and all of these Whirlpool brands account for about 27.3 percent of major appliance sales in the U.S., followed by General Electric brands—GE and Hotpoint—(25.1percent), and the Sears Kenmore (16.7 percent).

Whirlpool makes appliances for Ikea, Sears Kenmore, and side-by-side built-in refrigerators for Thermador.

6. I've been boycotting Whirlpool for years

because of their bad customer service.

7. What brands are made in the US?

I'm guessing it would be difficult to find appliances that are made here. Boycotting Whirlpool and buying a GE that's also made in Mexico seems pointless.

8. I will not buy Whirlpool Refrigerators,

But might still buy their laundry equipment (built in Marion Ohio)
