Electrolux Lawsuit

June 13, 2012

Nothing beats the convenience of a pre-installed ice maker on a refrigerator, especially on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, for consumers of Electrolux refrigerators, that convenience is mired by defects that cause the ice maker to stop working only months after purchase. Thus, Seeger Weiss is investigating claims for a class action suit against one of the leading manufacturers of home appliances, Electrolux U.S.A., Inc.

Electrolux refrigerators are sold in major retail stores throughout the U.S., and are priced around $2,000 to $4,000. Consumers are willing to pay top dollar for these appliances because the company advertises that its refrigerators have “innovative performance you can count on.” Yet ice makers that quit working shortly after purchase certainly contradict the manufacturer’s claim. Aside from falsely advertising that the consumer “can have ice at your finger tips,” Electrolux manufactures refrigerators that leak water causing damage to the refrigerator and the consumer’s home. Additionally, many consumers have reported excessive rattling noise emanating from the ice makers. To make matters worse, Electrolux has failed to remedy these defects and satisfy consumer complaints.

Consumers began complaining about these refrigerators in 2008. Four years later, consumers are still voicing their frustration. A number of videos appear on YouTube, describing the gravity of the situation. Here’s one example of a particularly shoddy refrigerator:
