FINDLAY WHIRLPOOL LAYOFFS ANNOUNCED

FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) - Whirlpool Corp. is laying off about 170 workers at a plant that makes dishwashers in northwest Ohio.

Benton Harbor, Mich.-based Whirlpool says the layoffs that begin Monday in Findlay will be temporary and reflect falling demand. Spokeswoman Jill Saletta said Friday the company doesn't know when the workers will be recalled.

Earlier this week, Whirlpool announced it was cutting 250 jobs at its washing machine plant in Clyde, about 40 miles northeast of Findlay.
