Yes, Kenmore appliances are still made, though in smaller quantities and sold primarily through Sears in US, as Kenmore is brand owned by Transformco, parent of Sears, with manufacturing done by other companies like Whirlpool, LG, and Frigidaire. Kenmore does not have its own factories, it is private label brand that contracts manufacturing to major appliance makers, with Whirlpool making many Kenmore washers and dryers in Clyde, Ohio, LG making some Kenmore refrigerators and front-load washers, and Frigidaire making some Kenmore ranges and dishwashers. Production continues for US market through Sears online at sears.com, where new Kenmore washers, dryers, refrigerators, and vacuums are listed, though selection is smaller than before Sears bankruptcy in 2018 that closed most stores. In Canada, new Kenmore appliances are no longer sold since Sears Canada closed in 2018, so not made for Canadian retail. The brand still exists and new units are made for US market, but volume is much lower than peak when Sears sold millions annually. Many former Kenmore customers now buy Whirlpool, Maytag, or LG directly, as those companies made Kenmore models. So Kenmore is still made through contract manufacturers like Whirlpool and LG for US Sears sales, but production is limited compared to past, and brand is less visible than before, though parts remain available.
