A lawsuit says wires running to the freezer door of some Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid and JennAir side-by-side refrigerators made from 2018 to 2021 can break. When they break, the ice maker, water dispenser or control panel can stop working. Whirlpool denies this. People who bought a covered refrigerator for home use in the US can ask for a free or discounted repair, or for reimbursement of part of a repair or replacement they paid for.

About the case
The lawsuit claims that the Class Refrigerators can have a failure or breakage of certain wires running to the freezer door. It says this causes in-door features such as the icemaker, ice dispenser, water dispenser or control panel to fail. Whirlpool denies the claims. The court granted final approval of the settlement. Claims for problems that happened before May 5, 2026, were due by November 2, 2026, and problems after that date must be reported within 90 days.
