Whirlpool appliances are made in the United States and other countries. The location depends on the type of appliance, the model, and the market where it is sold.
Whirlpool Corporation’s U.S. manufacturing guide identifies factories for washers, ranges, refrigerators, and dishwashers. However, it does not give a manufacturing location for every product that carries the Whirlpool name.
The manufacturer information below was checked in October 2026. Where it does not establish a product’s origin, we explain what you need to confirm before assuming that the appliance is American-made.
The Locations of Whirlpool Factories Across the Globe
First, it helps to separate the Whirlpool brand from Whirlpool Corporation. The corporation also has brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, and JennAir, so a description of its factories can include products sold under those names.
The company’s global location directory lists manufacturing operations in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. These locations cover several brands and product types, so the directory alone cannot tell you where a particular Whirlpool appliance was made.
Regional business arrangements matter too. Whirlpool’s European major appliance business became part of Beko Europe in 2024, and the company reported selling its remaining stake in Beko Europe in its June 2026 quarterly report. Arçelik’s brand information also distinguishes its regional license to use the Whirlpool name from the other brands in its portfolio.
If you want to check an appliance before buying it, start with the complete model number and the country where you are buying it. Look for a country-of-origin statement on the product or its packaging. If that information is missing or unclear, ask the manufacturer or seller to confirm it for that model. For an appliance you already own, include the serial number when you ask.
Where Are the Various Whirlpool Appliances Manufactured?
The following sections separate the production locations that the manufacturer identifies from the details that still need a model-specific check. A plant that makes one product type should not be treated as the source of every appliance sold under the same brand.
1. Whirlpool Washing Machines
Whirlpool identifies Clyde, Ohio, as a washer manufacturing location. It lists Marion, Ohio, separately for dryers.
The company’s 2025 product report also describes Whirlpool and Maytag top-load laundry products made at these Ohio facilities. This provides a dated example of U.S. production, but it does not establish the origin of every washer that the brand sells worldwide.
Greenville, Ohio, has a different role. Whirlpool lists that plant for KitchenAid small appliances.
2. Whirlpool Cooking Range
Whirlpool lists Tulsa, Oklahoma, for range production and Cleveland, Tennessee, for premium cooking appliances.
Benton Harbor, Michigan, is the company’s global headquarters. That headquarters address should not be used as evidence that a range was manufactured there.
These plant descriptions identify broad product groups. To confirm the origin of a particular gas or electric range, you still need information that matches its complete model number.
3. Whirlpool Ovens
Whirlpool’s Cleveland, Tennessee, facility has produced ranges, cooktops, and wall ovens, as described in the company’s 2013 announcement about the plant. Its current manufacturing guide continues to identify Cleveland as a premium cooking location.
These cooking operations are separate from the plants that Whirlpool identifies for washers, dryers, and refrigeration appliances.
A microwave oven also needs its own origin check. The factory information above does not establish one manufacturing location for all Whirlpool microwaves or every current wall-oven model.
4. Whirlpool Refrigerators
The kitchen photos in this article are illustrations. They do not identify a particular Whirlpool model or show where an appliance was manufactured.
Whirlpool lists Amana, Iowa, for refrigeration production and Ottawa, Ohio, for freezers and built-in refrigerators. These are corporate production categories, rather than a promise that every Whirlpool refrigerator comes from one of those plants.
The company also lists manufacturing operations in Mexico. However, that directory does not identify which refrigerator models are made at each plant, so it cannot settle the origin of a particular model.
So if you are comparing two refrigerators, check the origin of each complete model rather than relying on the brand name or the location of the company’s headquarters.

5. Whirlpool Filters
Whirlpool-branded water-treatment systems and replacement refrigerator filter cartridges should not be treated as one product group when you check where they are made.
The Whirlpool Water Solutions FAQ says its water filtration systems are built in Iuka, Mississippi. The same site identifies Water Channel Partners as the licensed manufacturer.
That statement does not confirm the origin of every Whirlpool or everydrop refrigerator filter cartridge. For those products, use the exact filter number and check its packaging or ask the manufacturer. Whirlpool’s refrigerator filter guide can help you identify the filter that matches your refrigerator.
6. Beverage and Wine Chillers
Whirlpool’s U.S. factory overview does not establish a manufacturing location for every beverage or wine cooler. It is not enough to conclude that these products are made alongside the company’s full-size refrigerators.
For a particular cooler, ask for country-of-origin information that matches the complete model number. Its size, appearance, or ability to fit under a counter does not tell you which factory made it.
7. Whirlpool Compactors
Whirlpool’s GC900QPPB product page identifies that model as a 15-inch convertible trash compactor, but the information reviewed for this article does not confirm its manufacturing country or factory.
So a general statement that Whirlpool compactors are all made in the United States would go beyond the available evidence. If origin matters to your purchase, check the specific model’s product or packaging label and ask the manufacturer if the answer is unclear.
8. Whirlpool Dishwashers
Whirlpool identifies Findlay, Ohio, as a dishwasher manufacturing location. This is a confirmed part of the company’s U.S. manufacturing, but it is not proof that every Whirlpool dishwasher is made there.
The same limitation applies when you compare dishwashers from other brands owned by Whirlpool Corporation. Shared ownership does not establish that every model comes from the same factory or has the same features.
Check the full model number and the market where the dishwasher is sold before treating a general factory description as confirmation of its origin.
