Unfortunately, you can’t wait weeks or months to receive your appliances. You need to keep your food cold in a refrigerator or install a panel-ready dishwasher before you can complete your cabinetry. What is causing these supply chain issues — and how can you overcome them? Spencers TV & Appliance will help our customers learn more about the backlog problems and how you can still find white and black kitchen appliances for your Arizona home in the Phoenix area. 

Why are Appliances so Hard to Find?

Appliance companies have been plagued by supply chain issues since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these brands operate in companies that shut down factories in order to follow quarantine orders. Some factories were closed for several weeks, meaning appliances weren’t built even though orders were flowing in. This created an order backlog.

The pandemic also increased demand for appliances. When people were stuck at home, they cooked more. Customers realized they needed to replace their refrigerators and stoves because they were getting old. There was a spike in orders for new appliances beyond normal demand levels, which worsened the order backlog.

Other supply chain issues have continued to frustrate customers and appliance manufacturers. Issues with shipping ports have prevented appliances from moving off ships in a timely manner. The limited number of semiconductors and soaring tin prices have also made it hard for companies to speed up production. This is why appliance manufacturers haven’t just ramped up the number of dishwashers and stovetops they create. It may take more than a year for companies to catch up with customer orders.   

Why are Black and White Appliances Out Of Stock?

While demand for appliances is a concern for manufacturers and appliance retailers, some customers are left wondering why there are plenty of stainless steel models available but no black or white options. There is a simple reason why black and white appliances are so hard to find: people like them.

Black matte appliances and white appliances have come roaring back in style over the past few years. More people want these colors in their homes and seek out appliances with black or white finishes. While it is possible to find Café white appliances in stock, their inventory is usually lower because so many people like this style.

Unfortunately, customer demand can create its own supply chain issues. If you want all-white appliances in your kitchen, it might take longer to receive the models you want. You should either order these appliances well in advance of needing them or look for alternatives in different colors. It is better to keep a refrigerator or dishwasher in storage than to wait and realize you can’t find the model you want.

In-Stock Appliances in Black and White

There is good news for consumers who are worried about buying appliances during the supply chain shortages. Our Spencers locations have plenty of white and black appliances in stock, many of which come from well-known brands. If you need an appliance immediately, like a dishwasher or a refrigerator, you won’t have to wait for one to be ready with our quick next-day delivery services (as long as your purchase was made by 2 p.m. the previous day). Here are a few of our top appliances currently available in our inventory with black and white finish options. 

GE® 24” Built-In Dishwasher-White

product 1

GE is an affordable brand that is also known for its quality appliances. If you are looking for a white dishwasher that matches the other items in your home, consider this model. It has a four-level PowerScrub wash system that cleans dishes thoroughly, removing all food particles and stains on your cookware. This dishwasher also has a two-stage filtration system to remove particles from the water washing your dishes.

The motor of this appliance runs at 64 dBA, which is no louder than the average conversation had in the family dining room. You can run the dishwasher without hearing the churning of the motor and the hoses spraying down your plates and utensils.

This is a basic dishwasher, but it also provides flexibility to customers. You can turn on the Short Wash cycle if you only have a few dishes or have cookware that just needs a quick rinse. This is a highly-rated dishwasher, with customers highlighting the high quality of the appliance compared to what they paid for it. Not only is it one of the most available white appliances, but it is also one of the most affordable.   

GE® 25.6 Cu. Ft. High-Gloss Black Freestanding French Door Refrigerator

product 2

A refrigerator is one of the top appliances that most homeowners can’t live without. You need to store your food throughout the week in a reliably cold place. If your refrigerator is unreliable, it could cause bacteria to grow on your food, causing it to rot faster and become inedible.

Fortunately, GE has multiple refrigerator models available in both black and white. You can even find black stainless steel appliances, like this refrigerator, to add to your kitchen. French door refrigerators are growing in popularity right now. This option has two refrigerator doors on the top level and a pull-out freezer on the bottom. The water and ice dispenser are on the outside of the door for quick and easy access to family and guests.

This refrigerator comes with all of the features you look for in a modern appliance. The shelves are adjustable so you can set them to match your lifestyle, while the LED lighting makes it easy to find specific food items. This is one of the most highly-rated refrigerators because it is so spacious and efficient at making ice.

Café™ 30” Matte White Slide In Dual Fuel Range

product 3

Almost every brand has been affected by supply chain issues over the past few years, including entry brands and luxury models. Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice the quality you expect just to buy a white appliance. Café currently has a white cooktop range that comes with six burners in different sizes and double ovens. You can prepare large meals for family members or entertain guests with complex dishes.

While the burners are expansive and can fit large pots and stir-fry woks, the controls are on the front of the stove. You don’t have to reach over to adjust the heat and risk burning yourself or getting hit by hot oil. One oven is smaller than the other for quick preheating. You can cook a pizza for dinner without needing a large heated space.

This range is constantly improving itself through Wi-Fi upgrades. You can discover new features that make cooking easier with each software iteration. The customer reviews rave about this range and talk about how quickly pans heat up on the burners and how useful the double ovens are. You can buy this range and oven  in white, black, and stainless steel finishes.

FAQs

What is the most popular appliance color in 2022?

There are two colors that are driving consumer demand in 2022: black and white. While all colors are affected by the supply chain shortage, these are the hardest to get because they are the most in-demand. Consider opting for a stainless steel appliance if you want to buy something that will arrive faster.

Why are kitchen appliances unavailable?

Appliance manufacturers have had supply chain issues since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many brands require at least six weeks to complete their orders. A surge in customer demand coupled with low production prevented appliance companies from keeping up with orders. These companies are still catching on orders today.
