Sears Stops Selling Whirlpool Appliances

Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

Sears Holdings Corp. will no longer sell Whirlpool Corp. appliances after a pricing dispute and changing market dynamics fractured a partnership that stretched back more than a century, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday. The struggling department store chain has stopped carrying products made by the biggest U.S. appliance manufacturer, including Maytag, KitchenAid and Jenn-Air appliances, according to an internal Sears memo. Sears will deplete Whirlpool inventory currently in its stores, the memo said, but hundreds of items have disappeared from the websites of Sears and Kmart, which is also owned by Sears Holdings.
