Yes, Kenmore appliances are still being made, though in much smaller quantities than before and sold primarily through Sears in US, as Kenmore is private label brand owned by Transformco, parent of Sears, with manufacturing contracted to other companies. Kenmore does not have its own factories, it outsources production to Whirlpool, LG, and Frigidaire, with Whirlpool making many Kenmore washers and dryers in Clyde, Ohio, USA, LG making some refrigerators and front-load washers, and Frigidaire making ranges and dishwashers in Mexico. New Kenmore appliances are available at sears.com online store, where washers, dryers, refrigerators, and vacuums are listed for sale with delivery across US, though selection is limited compared to peak when Sears had over 700 stores selling millions of Kenmore units annually before bankruptcy in 2018. In Canada, new Kenmore appliances are no longer sold since Sears Canada closed in 2018, so not made for Canadian retail market. The brand continues for US market, with new models still produced by contract manufacturers, but volume is low and brand is less visible than competitors like Whirlpool, Maytag, and LG who sell directly at Home Depot and Lowes. So Kenmore is still making appliances through contract manufacturers for US Sears sales, but production is limited and brand has declined significantly since Sears troubles.
