  • There is a proposed settlement in the case. It means you must file a claim form by 8/26/2016. The info and form are at the website below.
    The settlement is limited to models 1200, N8, N6 manufactured between specific dates and excludes any personal injury or property damages, those are dealt with separately.
    If you currently own a 1200 frigs you get 25 shares, if you used to own one and spent money repairing it, you get 1 to 25 shares depending on how much you can document spending on repairs; if you used to own one but didn't pay for any repairs you only get 1 share. if you own a N8 or N6 you get 5 shares and a 3 yr extended warranty for tube cracks. How much is a share worth? that depends on how many folks file a claim by the deadline. of the $36 million proposed settlement, the lawyers will get about 1/3 or $12 million, leaving about $24 million to be divided by X million shares from claimants.

  • It means if you have not paid for repairs you will receive $3.00 to $65.00. I foyu paid for repairs, you will receive between $75.00 and $3,000.00. It depends on how many file claims as to how much you receive.

    What it really means is that the lawyers will get millions of $$$$$$!
