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.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
Eligible owners can claim reimbursement for repair costs and documented food losses caused by the freezer defect. Purchase documentation and repair receipts are required. Check the official settlement website for the full list of qualifying model numbers. Deadline is December 31, 2026.
