Household Products & Appliances Class Action Settlements
Household appliances — washers, dryers, refrigerators, pressure cookers, microwaves — fail in expensive ways. When a defect is widespread, a class action can recover the cost of the appliance, the cost of any related property damage, and a free repair or replacement.
ClaimAlert is currently tracking 304 open household products & appliances settlements. Each listing below summarizes the alleged misconduct, who's eligible, the deadline to act, and what the typical payout looks like.
How household products & appliances class actions usually work
Manufacturers typically resist these cases hard, because settlements often require both a free repair program and compensation for property damage caused by the defect (water damage from a leaky washer, smoke damage from a defective range). Once a settlement is approved, most class members can claim a documented out-of-pocket reimbursement on top of the basic cash payment.
One thing to know up front: If you no longer own the appliance, you may still qualify if you can document an out-of-pocket repair you paid for. Save credit-card statements and any contractor invoices. The most common reason a valid claim gets rejected is the class member assumed they didn’t qualify and never filed. If you fit even some of the eligibility criteria below, file the claim — the administrator will tell you in writing if you don’t qualify.

Frequently asked: Household Products & Appliances claims
Do I need a lawyer to file a claim in this category?
For nearly every published settlement on this page, no. The settlement administrator handles your claim once you submit the form. If you suffered an unusually large or complex loss — for example, documented property damage from a defective appliance worth thousands of dollars, or a personal injury — a participating attorney can review your situation for free using the form on this page.
Will filing affect my taxes or credit?
Most consumer settlement payments are not taxable when they reimburse you for an out-of-pocket loss. Filing a claim does not affect your credit. Settlement administrators do not share your information with credit bureaus or employers.
How long until I get paid?
Once a federal judge enters "final approval" of the settlement, payouts typically begin within ninety days but can take up to a year if appeals are filed. ClaimAlert updates each listing when payments start hitting consumers.
What if I don’t have a receipt?
If you no longer own the appliance, you may still qualify if you can document an out-of-pocket repair you paid for. Save credit-card statements and any contractor invoices. See our full proof-of-purchase tips guide for help retrieving old purchase records from major retailers.
