I’ve bought several Kenmore appliances in the past few years, and none was made in China. Whirlpool made the dishwasher, Electrolux made the oven/range, neither in China.
Well, mine certainly was....says so right on the riveted on nameplate with model and serial numbers. Maybe the answer is to check the nameplates when you buy and choose ones NOT "Made in China". But one cannot any longer with certainty "buy Kenmore" and expect quality throughout the brand.
