Under the leadership of [[Roy D. Chapin Jr.]], AMC sold off its Kelvinator operations in 1968.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hyde |first=Charles K. |title=Riding the Roller Coaster |publisher=Wayne State University Press |year=2003 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=aQhTq18vi7AC&q=Kelvinator+history+1968&pg=PA276 |isbn=978-0-8143-3091-3 |page=276 |access-date=24 May 2013}}</ref> (AMC then purchased the [[Jeep]] brand from [[Kaiser Industries]] in 1970.) Kelvinator joined [[White Consolidated Industries]], a company that later acquired the rights to [[Frigidaire]] (originally owned by [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]]), [[Gibson Appliance|Gibson]], and [[White-Westinghouse]] product lines. [[Electrolux]] of Sweden acquired White Consolidated Industries in 1986, and combined WCI brands with Electrolux-owned [[Tappan (brand)|Tappan]] to become WCI Major Appliances Group.

In the early 1990s, the name of the [[Dublin, Ohio]] based holding company changed to Frigidaire Company.

In 1997, it was reorganized into Electrolux North America Products.
