Court Grants Preliminary Approval of Whirlpool Refrigerator Broken Wires Class Action Litigation

Costa, et al. v. Whirlpool Corp., No. 1:24-cv-00188-MN (D. Del.)

March 3, 2026 – The United States District Court for the District of Delaware has granted preliminary approval of a settlement between Class Members and Whirlpool Corporation in a class action lawsuit alleging defective wire harnesses in certain Whirlpool, Maytag, Jennair, and Kitchenaid refrigerators. These wire harnesses can break with normal use, causing failure of the in-door ice-maker, ice dispenser, water dispenser, and/or control panel. The Settlement provides substantial relief to Settlement Class Members, who, for example, may be entitled to claim significant cash compensation (e.g., up to 50% of the original purchase price) or a free repair.
