The manufacturer of "Kenmore"-branded appliances varies from appliance 
to appliance and from year to year. Our "Kenmore" wahser and dryer are 
(were when we bought them) made by Frigidaire. Our "Kenmore" 
refrigerator is made by Whirlpool. Our current "Kenmore" microwave is 
built by ?? (Amana, perhaps); the one at our old house was built by 
either Whirlpool or GE, I think. People tell me that the first three 
digits of the model# indicate the manufacturer.
