First, we’ll cover what class members should know.
We purchased our Whirlpool Cabrio washer and dryer from Lowe's in 2011. (Whirlpool Cabrio Washer Model WTW7800XW2).

I didn't think much about it until after approximately 14 months when I noticed the first crack across the lid.
The settlement class includes all persons who, while living in the United States, bought, acquired, or received as a gift new certain Whirlpool-manufactured refrigerators with bottom freezers manufactured between 2009 and 2018.
