Case Summary:Whirlpool Corporation is settling four class actions alleging that certain of its Whirlpool-manufactured dishwashers, including some sold under the Ikea, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool brands. The complaint alleged these machines, which were made with hydraulic rotation diverter systems between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2017, bearing certain serial numbers, can suffer from diverter shaft leaks, which may cause the diverter motor to malfunction or may result in water leaking from the dishwasher.
This settlement does not cover personal injuries or property damage other than damage to the dishwasher itself.
