JennAir Double Wall Ovens

Whirlpool’s AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology
In June 2016, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Whirlpool Corp. for, among other things, allegedly deceptively marketing its AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology as able to “self-clean[]” an oven in less than one hour using only water and low heat when, in reality, the AquaLift feature does not perform as advertised. (Schechner et al v. Whirlpool Corp., Case No. 16-cv-12409, E. D. MI.)
