Anyone have info or links on this subject? I want to be able to explain the price increase to my customers.

This takes place March of 2013. see the artical in Appliance Magazine http://www.appliancemagazine.com/ae/editorial.php?article=2328&zone=215&first=1 February 14, 2013 at 7:19 pm #6727 peternylanderParticipant Thanks, roadwarrior61.
