Common questions
- How much does the Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Build-up Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Up to $300. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Build-up Settlement?
- Yes. This settlement asks for documentation supporting your claim — a receipt, an account record, or the notice you were sent. Check the official settlement website for exactly which documents are accepted.
- Is the Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Build-up Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Cooling Settlement Administrator is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at coolingsettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Build-up Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for May 13, 2025; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.

Kroger Rx Savings Club Settlement
Kroger is accused of failing to consider its discounted Rx Savings Club or Health Savings Club prices when determining its usual and customary (U&C) prices submitted to insurance companies for prescription drug claims. Plaintiffs allege this resulted in customers overpaying their insurance copays and coinsurance. Kroger denies wrongdoing and maintains it correctly reported its retail prices as U&C prices. The court has not decided who is right.
