File Your Claim →What Happened?
A separate class action against Whirlpool and Maytag addressed defects in bottom-mount and French-door refrigerator models where the freezer compartment would stop maintaining proper temperature, leading to food spoilage and damage. This defect affected a different set of refrigerator models from the wire harness settlement but similarly resulted in expensive repairs and food losses for consumers.
French-door and bottom-freezer refrigerators are among the most popular and expensive refrigerator styles, with prices often ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 or more. Whirlpool agreed to pay $21 million to settle this class action as well.
