Whirlpool appliances are made in both the United States and a wide range of countries around the world, with a large share of products for the U.S. market still built in American factories.

Quick Scoop: Where Whirlpool Appliances Are Made

Whirlpool’s U.S. manufacturing base

Whirlpool is still heavily anchored in the U.S., where it operates multiple major plants that build many of the washers, dryers, refrigerators, and cooking appliances sold in America.

Key U.S. locations include (examples):

  • Ohio (Clyde, Findlay, Marion, Ottawa, Greenville) – large laundry and component plants.
  • Iowa (Amana) – major refrigeration production.
  • Tennessee (Cleveland) – ranges, ovens, and other cooking appliances.
  • Oklahoma (Tulsa) – additional appliance production and distribution.

Estimates from industry and company reports suggest that a high proportion of Whirlpool-branded appliances sold in the U.S. are assembled in these American factories.

Whirlpool’s global footprint

Whirlpool is a global manufacturer, so not all Whirlpool appliances are U.S.-made.

The company also manufactures appliances in:

  • Mexico – several plants making refrigerators and ranges for Latin America and some U.S. models.
  • Europe – factories in countries like Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and others serving the European and Middle Eastern markets.
  • Asia – plants in India and China supplying regional markets; India in particular has multiple advanced Whirlpool factories.
  • South America – facilities in Brazil and Argentina producing under local brands (such as Brastemp and Consul) as well as Whirlpool-branded products.

Because Whirlpool uses regional manufacturing, where your specific appliance is made usually depends on:

  • The type of product (washer, dryer, fridge, range, etc.).
  • The market/region where it’s sold.
  • The exact model line and price point (some budget lines may come from non‑U.S. plants, while many mid/high-end models in the U.S. are made domestically).

How to check where your Whirlpool appliance was made

If you want to know the origin of a specific Whirlpool unit, you can usually find it by:

  1. Looking at the rating/data plate sticker (often inside the door, behind a kick panel, or on the back) – it normally lists the country of origin.
  2. Checking the user manual or packaging for origin labeling.
  3. Searching the full model number online along with “country of origin” or “made in”.

In short: Whirlpool has an American core but manufactures worldwide. Many Whirlpool appliances sold in the U.S. are made in U.S. plants, while others come from Whirlpool factories in Mexico, Europe, Asia, and South America.
