About This Settlement

Plaintiffs alleged Whirlpool washing machines contained design flaws promoting mold buildup and persistent odors. Consumers argued defects reduced appliance value and created cleaning problems within households. Whirlpool denied wrongdoing while agreeing to offer cash reimbursements and repair benefits. The lawsuit lasted many years before final approval of settlement terms.

Who's Eligible

Consumers who purchased certain Whirlpool front-loading washing machines between 2001 and 2008 qualified for benefits and compensation. Eligible owners allegedly experienced mold growth and unpleasant odors caused by machine design defects. Consumers generally needed proof of purchase or serial number verification.
