Of all the appliance manufacturers that the USA had then, I cant think of any that were known as junk... and I used to live across the street from a used appliance dealer growing up. Some of the later (early 1960's) GE front loaders might qualify. I remember seeing many of them rusted out internally while we were scrapping them out.

My mom had a 1962 Philco-Bendix front loader washer-dryer that ate spin solenoids about every 4-6 months until the repairman found a larger more robust solenoid that would fit to replace the OEM unit that failed. Then, it lasted for years.
