Kitchen and Residential Design: Who makes what?It's no real secret that the brand name on an appliance doesn't tell you very much about who the manufacturer was. Just as with every other industry the last 20 years of the appliance world has been marked by a host of mergers and acquisitions. For the most part, who made your appliance doesn't really matter very much, but I think charts like this from Appliance 41 1 are helpful to have on hand when you're reading Consumer Reports or any other review source. When Consumer Reports praises a Kenmore range and then slams a hauntingly similar one from GE Profile it always makes me laugh. More often than not, such slams are directed at the brand and not the actual appliance. How could it be otherwise as the only difference a Kenmore and a GE Profile is the styling? Keep this chart handy of you're in the market for appliances. Note too that there's a link in the Sears category that jumps to Appliance 411's guide to the various manufacturers who actually make every Kenmore model on the market. Like I said, it's interesting. Kathy, the photo was from some woman's collection in Flickr. I can't claim ownership though I remember well a scene such as the one depicted. Although we were more prone to be melting army men in an Easy Bake. Just ask my brothers. Hah! The boxed potato chips caught my eye too. We always had them in a big can (that got delivered by the chip man no less). But a box? I'm curious to know where that photo was taken. Source: Kitchen and Residential Design: Who makes what?
Defrost System Not working on GE Side by Side - Appliance Repair ForumThe defrost system in my 5 year old GE side by side refrigerator Model # SSS25SGPASS is no longer working. The coil iced up last week and caused the refrigerator to get warm. After reading other threads on this problem; I removed the rear panel in the freezer and found the evaporator coil fully iced over. I defrosted the coil using a hair dryer, but the rear panel back in, and plugged the refrigerator back in. It worked fine for four days but then the temperature in the refrigerator started to rise. I again pulled the rear panel in the freezer; only to find it completely iced up again. Source: Defrost System Not working on GE Side by Side - Appliance Repair Forum
