UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA KYLE DEI ROSSI and MARK LINTHICUM, on behalf of themselves and those similarly situated, Plaintiffs, vs. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION, PACIFIC SALES KITCHEN AND BATH CENTERS, INC. and BEST BUY COMPANY, INC., Defendants. TO THE CLERK OF THE ABOVE-CAPTIONED COURT, AND TO PLAINTIFFS AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on May 16, 2012, at 9:30 a.m., in Courtroom 6 of the above-titled Court, located at 501 I Street, Sacramento, California, 95814, Defendants WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION, PACIFIC SALES KITCHEN AND BATH CENTERS, INC., and BEST BUY COMPANY, INC. (Defendants) will and hereby do move to CASE NO. 2:12-cv-00125-JAM-JFM NOTICE OF DEFENDANTS MOTION AND MOTION TO DISMISS CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT PURSUANT TO FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 9(b) AND 12(b)(6) Date: Time: Courtroom: Judge: May 16, 2012 9:30 a.m. 6 - 14th Floor, Sacramento Honorable John A.

As shown in the accompanying motion and memorandum of law, each of Plaintiffs claims should be dismissed because it is either legally deficient, or fails to offer a sufficient factual basis to show that Plaintiffs are entitled to relief. Plaintiffs claims for breach of express warranty fail because any claims under the manufacturers written express limited warranty have expired, Plaintiffs have not adequately alleged the existence of any separate express warranty, and even if Plaintiffs could show a separate express warranty, Plaintiffs have not alleged facts to show any such warranty was breached, or that they sustained damages as a result. Plaintiffs claim for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability fails because any implied warranty has long-since expired, and because reduced energy efficiency has not affected the subject refrigerators basic degree of quality that is required by the implied warranty of merchantability. Plaintiffs claims under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. 2301, et seq., fail because those claims are based on state law warranty claims that are themselves factually and legally insufficient. Plaintiffs claims for unjust enrichment fail because there is no such cause of action under California law. Plaintiffs claims for violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Civil Code 1750, et seq., fail because Plaintiffs were not parties to any transaction with Whirlpool, because Plaintiffs have not alleged misrepresentations by any Defendant with the required particularity, and because there is too great of a factual gap between the disqualification in September 2011 of two KitchenAid refrigerators from the ENERGY STAR program, and Plaintiffs purchases in December 2008 of the subject refrigerators. Plaintiffs claim for violation of Californias Unfair Competition Law, Bus. & Prof. Code 17200, et seq., fail because Plaintiffs (i) have not presented any factual allegations suggesting that any Defendant violated any law, (ii) have not pled the necessary elements of an unfairness claims, and (iii) have not alleged fraud with the required particularity. Plaintiffs claims for violation of Californias False Advertising Law, Bus. & Prof. Code 17500, et seq.,fail

because Plaintiffs have not alleged a false advertisement with the required specificity, and because there is too great of a factual gap between the disqualification in September 2011 of two KitchenAid refrigerators from the ENERGY STAR program, and Plaintiffs purchases in December 2008 of the subject refrigerators. Finally, Plaintiffs claims for the violations of nearly every state consumer fraud statute in the country on behalf of unnamed members of the putative nationwide class fail because Plaintiffs have provided nothing more than a laundry list of those statutes and unsupported legal conclusions. This Motion is based upon this Notice of Motion and Motion and the Memorandum of Points and Authorities filed and served herewith, and on such further documents and arguments as the Court may permit at the hearing of the Motion.

1 DEFENDANTS MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO DISMISS CASE NO. 2:12-cv-00125-JAM-JFM
1
INTRODUCTION Plaintiffs Kyle Dei Rossi and Mark Linthicum filed a Class Action Complaint (Complaint) alleging that the KitchenAid KSRG25FVMT and KSRS25RVHR model refrigerators they bought, which were built by Whirlpool Corporation (Whirlpool) and sold by Pacific Sales Kitchen and Bath Centers, Inc. (Pacific Sales) and Best Buy Company, Inc. (Best Buy), respectively, were improperly associated with the ENERGY STAR logo. 1 Specifically, Plaintiffs allege that, in November 2011, approximately three years after they bought their refrigerators, the same two KitchenAid models were disqualified from the ENERGY STAR program. Based solely on the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) disqualification of the later-built machines, Plaintiffs claim that Defendants mislabeled the 2008 model-year refrigerators that they bought as ENERGY STAR-compliant when the refrigerators allegedly were not, and also claim that Defendants misrepresented the energy efficiency of those refrigerators through the (unspecified) use of the ENERGY STAR logo. For several reasons, Plaintiffs allegations are insufficient to state any claim for relief under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a) and 9(b), and Defendants move to dismiss Plaintiffs claims pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). First, although Plaintiffs misrepresentation and mislabeling claims plainly sound in fraud, Plaintiffs fail to plead with the required specificity the circumstances constituting the alleged fraud. To the contrary, they plead only that two refrigerator models were disqualified from the ENERGY STAR program nearly three years after Plaintiffs bought their refrigerators, and then they simply assume the Court will fill in the rest of the required allegationsnamely, the who, what, when, where, and how of the alleged
Plaintiffs do not allege any facts that, if true, would describe when, how, or where the ENERGY STAR logo was associated with their refrigerators, nor do they allege that they saw, heard, read, or relied on the logo before deciding to buy the refrigerator.
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 7 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 misrepresentation, including the (missing) allegations that, if true, would show that there was any misrepresentation in the first place (i.e., that the refrigerators Plaintiffs bought in 2008 did not comply with the ENERGY STAR program requirements at the time their two machines were manufactured) or that they relied on any misrepresentation. For these and other reasons discussed below, each of Plaintiffs claims are fatally deficient. Second, Plaintiffs claims for breach of express warranty fail because any purported claim under the manufacturers limited written warranty have expired long ago, because Plaintiffs have not adequately alleged the existence of any other express warranty, and even if Plaintiffs could show a separate express warranty existed, they have not alleged facts showing that Whirlpool breached any such warranty or that Plaintiffs sustained damages. Third, Plaintiffs claims for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability fail because any implied warranty has long-since expired, and because the energy efficiency of the refrigerators is irrelevant to whether those appliances satisfy the minimum level of quality required under the law of implied warranty. Fourth, the purported claims under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA), 15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq., fail because their validity depends on the validity of Plaintiffs state-law warranty claims, and those state-law claims are deficient. Fifth, Plaintiffs claims for unjust enrichment fail because, under California law, unjust enrichment is not an independent cause of action. Sixth, Plaintiffs claims for violation of the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), Civil Code 1750 et seq., fail as to Whirlpool because Plaintiffs were not parties to any transaction with Whirlpool. Plaintiffs CLRA claims against Best Buy and Pacific Sales also fail because Plaintiffs have not adequately alleged that they complied with the notice requirement of section 1782(a) of the Civil Code. Moreover, Plaintiffs CLRA claims against all Defendants fail because Plaintiffs have not alleged any misrepresentation with the required particularity, and because the mere fact that refrigerators with the same model numbers were disqualified from the ENERGY STAR program three years after 2

Plaintiffs bought their refrigerators is not sufficient, by itself, to plead that the refrigerators Plaintiffs bought were mislabeled. Seventh, Plaintiffs claims for violation of the Californias Unfair Competition Law (UCL), Bus. & Prof. Code 17200 et seq., fails because Plaintiffs (i) have not pled any facts that would support a reasonable inference that any Defendant violated any applicable law, (ii) have not pleaded the necessary elements to show that Defendants alleged conduct was unfair, and (iii) have not alleged fraud with the required particularity. Eighth, Plaintiffs claims for violation of Californias False Advertising Law (FAL), Bus. & Prof. Code 17500 et seq., fail because Plaintiffs have not alleged a false advertisement with the required specificity, and because Plaintiffs have not alleged sufficient facts to connect Plaintiffs December 2008 purchases with the September 2011 disqualification of units that shared the same model numbers. Finally, Plaintiffs purported claims for violations of nearly every states consumer protection statutes on behalf of unnamed members of the putative nationwide class fails because Plaintiffs have provided nothing more than a laundry list of statutes and unsupported legal conclusions. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS Plaintiff Kyle Dei Rossi (Dei Rossi) alleges that, on December 8, 2008, he bought a KitchenAid refrigerator, model number KSRG25FVMT, from a Best Buy retail store in Stockton, California. (Compl. 18.) Dei Rossi alleges that he decided to look only at ENERGY STAR models when he shopped for a new refrigerator and that he would not have bought his KitchenAid refrigerator if he had known that it was not, in fact, ENERGY STAR compliant. (Id.) Dei Rossi does not allege that he was exposed to any pre-sale representation that the refrigerator he bought was ENERGY STAR compliant, nor any facts showing that he was exposed to any representation about the energy efficiency of his refrigerator specifically or the ENERGY STAR program generally. (Id.)

Plaintiff Mark Linthicum (Linthicum) alleges that, on December 31, 2008, he purchased a KitchenAid refrigerator, model number KSRS25RVHR, from a Pacific Sales retail store in Los Angeles, California. (Id. 19.) Linthicum alleges that he would not have bought his KitchenAid refrigerator if he had known it was not, in fact, ENERGY STAR compliant. (Id.) Linthicum does not allege that he was exposed to any representation that the refrigerator was ENERGY STAR compliant, nor any facts that we has exposed to any representations about the energy efficiency of his refrigerator specifically or the ENERGY STAR program generally. (Id.) Plaintiffs claim that on or about November 23, 2011, the DOE determined that KitchenAid KSRG25FVMT and KSRS25RVHR model refrigerators (KitchenAid refrigerators) were non-compliant with the requirements of the ENERGY STAR program and disqualified them from the ENERGY STAR program. (Compl. 20.) Plaintiffs do not allege why these 2011 model-year machines were allegedly disqualified from the ENERGY STAR program. (Id. 1-135.) Of critical importance, Plaintiffs do not allege any facts that would support an inference that the reason(s) that the 2011 model-year machines were disqualified has any relevance to the 2008 model-year refrigerators they bought three years earlier (other than the fact that models numbers were the same), including any allegation that the machines they bought in 2008 shared all the relevant designs and components as the refrigerators built in 2011, or that the ENERGY STAR program guidelines in place in 2008including the relevant statutory and regulatory provisions and the relevant agencies interpretations of those provisionswere the same as those that were in place in 2011. (Id.)

2
Based on the late 2011 disqualification, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants 2 misrepresent[ed] the energy efficiency of Plaintiffs respective KitchenAid refrigerators by promoting them as ENERGY STAR-qualified and labeling them with the ENERGY STAR logo. (Compl. 4.) The Complaint alleges that ENERGY STAR-qualified refrigerators are required . . . to use 20% less energy than standard models (Id. 5), but that their KitchenAid refrigerators allegedly do not meet the ENERGY STAR standards because their machines consume significantly more energy that their labels state (id. 4). Plaintiffs do not allege, however, that they were aware of those ENERGY STAR program requirements at the time of their purchases, nor do they specifically allege how much more energy (or how much less energy-efficient) the 2011 model-year refrigerators that were disqualified allegedly are. In fact, they never actually allege that those 2011 model-year refrigerators were disqualified because they used too much energy, as opposed to some other reason(s)), nor do they allege that the units they bought in 2008 used the same amount of energy. (Id. 1-135.) Plaintiffs allege they paid a higher purchase price for their KitchenAid refrigerators due to the ENERGY STAR designation, and they also claim to have incurred higher energy bills because the actual energy consumption of their KitchenAid refrigerators is allegedly substantially higher than what was promised. (Compl. 6.) Again, Plaintiffs allege no facts in support of those conclusory assertions. (Id. 1-135.) Neither Plaintiff alleges that he read, or was otherwise exposed, to any pre-sale written or oral statement or advertisement by any Defendant concerning the energy

The overwhelming majority of factual allegations in the Complaint are made against Defendants collectively, with no attempt to identify which of the three Defendants engaged in any particular alleged conduct. Although the Complaint alleges that Defendants acted in concert, and are each others agent[s] (Compl. 13), Plaintiffs have pleaded no facts to support this bare legal conclusion. See Keegan v. Am. Honda Motor Co., Inc., No.

efficiency or energy use of the refrigerators. Likewise, neither Plaintiff identifies what information he relied on to determine that the KitchenAid refrigerators were ENERGY STAR qualified, or what he understood that qualification to mean at the time of purchase. Although the Complaint attributes purported excerpts of general statements about energy efficiency, environmental stewardship, and the ENERGY STAR program allegedly taken from each Defendants website and unspecified advertisementsas well as from an advertisement by a non-party on Amazon.com(Compl. 10-12, 17), Plaintiffs do not allege that they were ever exposed to or relied on any of these alleged statements before they bought their refrigerators, or that any of these statements are in any way inaccurate, false, or misleading (id. 1-135). ARGUMENT I. L EGAL STANDARD Dismissal of a complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) is proper where there is a lack of a cognizable legal theory or the absence of sufficient facts alleged under a cognizable legal theory. Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Dept, 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1990). Under Rule 8(a), a plaintiffs obligation to provide the grounds of his entitle[ment] to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (alteration in original). A complaint must set forth sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S. Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009) (internal quotation marks omitted). That standard asks for more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully and requires more than facts that are

A pleading that contains [t]hreadbear recitals of the elements of a cause of action, or naked assertion[s] devoid of further factual enhancement will not survive a motion to dismiss. Id. In addition, claims sounding in fraud are subject to Rule 9(b)s heightened pleading standard. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b); see also Kearns v. Ford Motor Co., 567 F.3d 1120, 1122 (9th Cir. 2009) (applying Rule 9(b) to UCL and CLRA claims); In re Toyota Motor Corp. Unintended Acceleration Prods. Liab. Cases, 754 F. Supp. 2d 1145, 1172 (C.D. Cal. 2010) (Thus, it is clear that Rule 9(b) applies to the allegations under the CLRA, the fraud prong of the UCL, and the FAL). Fraud claims must be accompanied by the who, what, when, where, and how of the fraudulent conduct charged. Vess v. Ciba-Geigy Corp. USA, 317 F.3d 1097,1106 (9th Cir. 2003). Moreover, to satisfy Rule 9(b): [A] plaintiff must set forth more than the neutral facts necessary to identify the transaction. The plaintiff must set forth what is false or misleading about a statement, and why it is false. In other words, the plaintiff must set forth an explanation as to why the statement or omission complained of was false or misleading. Cooper v. Pickett, 137 F.3d 616, 625 (9th Cir. 1998) (emphasis in original). II. PLAINTIFFS FAIL TO ALLEGE THAT THE ENERGY STAR LOGO CREATED AN EXPRESS WARRANTY Plaintiffs allege that Defendants expressly warranted that the [KitchenAid refrigerators] were fit for their intended purpose in that they would function properly as energy-efficient refrigerators within the parameters established by federal law and the ENERGY STAR program. (Compl. 40.) Plaintiffs generically allege that Defendants breached this purported warranty and that Plaintiffs allegedly suffered damages as a result. (Id. 42.) Under California law, an express warranty is a contractual term concerning some aspect of the sale, such as the quality of the warranted item. See Windham at Carmel Mountain Ranch Assn v. Super. Ct., 109 Cal. App. 4th 1162, 1168 (Cal. Ct. App. 2003). In order to state an express warranty claim, Plaintiff must sufficiently allege (1) the exact terms of the warranty, (2) reasonable reliance thereon, and (3) a breach of the warranty that 7

proximately caused injury. See Williams v. Beechnut Nutrition Corp., 185 Cal. App. 3d 135, 139-141 (Cal. Ct. App. 1986). Although Plaintiffs allege that there was an expressed warranty that the KitchenAid refrigerators would function properly as energy efficient refrigerators within the parameters established by federal law and the ENERGY STAR program (Compl. 40), they have not (and cannot) offer any factual support that any such statement was made, which Defendants allegedly made it, in what context, or the exact terms of any such purported warranty. See Avago Techs. U.S., Inc. v. Venture Corp. Ltd., No. C 08-03248 JW, 2008 WL 5383367, at *4-5 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 22, 2008) (dismissing warranty claim where the plaintiffs failed to allege what specific provisions were not met and instead made only the conclusory allegation that the express warranty was breached because the goods did not meet the contracts specifications and quality requirements); Blennis v. Hewlett-Packard Co., No. C 07-00333 JF, 2008 WL 818526, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 25, 2008) (dismissing express warranty claim where the plaintiffs failed to identify any specific warranty provision upon which they allegedly relied). In fact, the terms of Whirlpools actual manufacturers written warranty (Limited Warranty) that accompanied each Plaintiffs KitchenAid refrigerator makes clear that the alleged warranty was not made. 3 (See Decl. of Joanna Bliahu-Robarge Ex. A at 14; Ex. B at
Whirlpool has submitted herewith copies of the one-year Limited Warranty that accompanied each Plaintiffs KitchenAid refrigerator. (See Decl. of Joanna Bliahu Exs. AB.) The actual terms of the Limited Warranty are properly before the Court because Plaintiffs refer to the written warranty in their pleading (e.g., Compl. 40), and because the exact terms of the warranty are central to Plaintiffs express warranty claims. See, e.g., Lee v. City of L.A., 250 F.3d 668, 688 (9th Cir. 2001) ([A] court may consider material which is properly submitted as part of the complaint on a motion to dismiss without converting the motion to dismiss into a motion for summary judgment. If the documents are not physically attached to the complaint, they may be considered if the documents authenticity . . . is not contested and the plaintiffs complaint necessarily relies on them. (citation omitted)).
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 14 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 14.) That warranty is limited to correcting defects in material and workmanship, and says nothing about whether the machines would function properly as energy efficient refrigerators. (Id.) Plaintiffs have alleged no facts to support a connection between the supposed ENERGY STAR non-compliance of the their KitchenAid refrigerators, and any defect in materials or workmanship. See In re Toyota, 754 F. Supp. 2d at 1180-81 (barring claims not based on materials and workmanship under similar express warranty). Further, even assuming the terms of the written Limited Warranty could be construed as Plaintiffs allege, that warranty applies for a period of one year after purchase. (See Exs. A & B.) By Plaintiffs own admissions, they bought their refrigerators more than three years before bringing suit, well outside the express warranty period. See In re Toyota, 754 F. Supp. 2d at 1179 (granting motion to dismiss express warranty claims where plaintiffs did not seek remedies within warranty period); Stearns v. Select Comfort Retail Corp., No. 082746 JF, 2008 WL 4542967, at *5 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 1, 2008) (dismissing claim where the plaintiff failed to allege that she attempted to invoke her limited warranty or that the defendant refused to remedy the alleged product defect pursuant to the warrantys terms). Further still, Plaintiffs express warranty claims fail to satisfy Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a) because they depend on many unsupported and speculative factual inferences. For example, Plaintiffs allege no facts to support their claims that their 2008 model-year KitchenAid refrigerators consume more energy than promised, including what specific level of energy consumption they were promised, and by whom, or what their actual of level of energy consumption has been since December 2008. Moreover, Plaintiffs allege no facts to support the speculative inference that because 2011 model-year KitchenAid refrigerators were disqualified for failure to meet then-applicable ENERGY STAR program requirements, their 2008 model-year refrigerators also did not comply with the ENERGY STAR program requirements that were in place at the time of purchase. This gap is particularly problematic because the ENERGY STAR program requirements for consumer refrigerators changed on a number of occasions, including in April 2008, just months before 9
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 15 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 implied warranty was expressly limited in duration to one year by the terms of the written 18 Limited Warranty. (See Decl. of Joanna Bliahu Exs. A & B at 14.) The written warranties 19 that were issued with Plaintiffs refrigerators explicitly state: 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 10
Plaintiffs purchases, when the minimum level for ENERGY STAR qualification for fullsize refrigerators was raised from 15% more efficient than the federal minimum standard to 20% more efficient than the federal minimum standard. 4 In short, Plaintiffs plead only the September 2011 notice of disqualification by DOE and the fact of their December 2008 purchases, and they expect the Court to supply the missing factual allegations to bridge the logical gap in their pleading. Plaintiffs thus fail to offer any facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face for breach of express warranty, and this claim should be dismissed. Iqbal, 129 S. Ct. at 1949. III. PLAINTIFFS IMPLIED WARRANTY CLAIMS FAIL BECAUSE ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, AND BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO PLEAD THAT THE REFRIGERATORS ARE UNMERCHANTABLE Plaintiffs allege that their KitchenAid refrigerators came with an implied warranty of merchantability that they were fit for their intended purpose in that they would function properly as energy efficient refrigerators within the parameters established by federal law and the ENERGY STAR program, and that Defendants purportedly breached this alleged implied warranty and that they suffered damages as a result.

Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 16 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Even assuming that Plaintiffs implied warranty claim was timely, it would still fail because there are no well-plead facts that show the KitchenAid refrigerators failed to conform to their ordinary intended purpose. Unlike express warranties, which are basically contractual in nature, the implied warranty of merchantability arises by operation of law. . . . [I]t provides for a minimum level of quality. Am. Suzuki Motor Corp. v. Super. Ct., 37 Cal. App. 4th 1291, 1295-96 (Cal. Ct. App. 1995). To establish an implied warranty claim, Plaintiffs must show that the KitchenAid refrigerators did not possess even the most basic degree of fitness for ordinary use. Keegan, 2012 WL 75443, at *11; see also Pisano v. Am. Leasing, 146 Cal. App. 3d 194, 198 (Cal. Ct. App. 1983) (Crucial to the inquiry is whether the product conformed to the standard of performance of like products used in the trade). 11
REMEDIES
Customers sole and exclusive remedy under this limited warranty shall be product repair as provided herein. Implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to one year or the shortest period allowed by law.
(Id.) Plaintiffs admit that they bought their KitchenAid refrigerators in December 2008. (Compl. 18-19.) Although Plaintiffs allege that the 2011 model-year KitchenAid refrigerators sharing Plaintiffs respective model numbers were disqualified from the ENERGY STAR Program (id. 20), they have offered no facts to connect the machines they bought three years earlier to the subsequent disqualification, nor have they offered any facts to show that their refrigerators actually used more energy than was implied by the ENERGY STAR logo, or that they otherwise sustained damages during the implied warranty period. That failure requires dismissal of their implied warranty claims. See, e.g., Cal. Com. Code 2316; Hovsepian v. Apple, Inc., No. 08-5788 JF (PVT), 2009 WL 2591445, at *8 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 21, 2009) (dismissing implied warranty claim brought outside one-year limitation contained in the written express warranty). B. The KitchenAid Refrigerators Alleged Noncompliance with ENERGY STAR Requirements Does Not Render Them Unmerchantable

Here, Plaintiffs conclusory allegations are limited to unspecified costs for allegedly increased monthly energy use. Plaintiffs do not allege that their KitchenAid refrigerators failed to perform at a minimum level of quality for similar products. I V. PL AI NTI FFS M M WA CL AI M S FAI L BECAUSE THEI R STATE-L AW WARRANTY CL AI M S FAI L Plaintiffs claim that Defendants violated the MMWA because Defendants allegedly breached written warranties . . . which warranted that the products met the energy efficiency requirements of the ENERGY STAR program. (Compl. 34.) Although the MMWA provides a federal cause of action for state-law express and implied warranty claims, it does not expand the rights under the state claims. See In re Sony Grand Wega KDF-E A10/20 Series Rear Projection HDTV Television Litig., 758 F. Supp. 2d 1077, 1101 (S.D. Cal. 2010). Thus, Plaintiffs claims under the MMWA necessarily stand or fall with Plaintiffs state-law express and implied warranty claims. Id. (citing Clemens v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., 534 F.3d 1017, 1022 (9th Cir. 2008)); Daugherty v. Am. Honda Motor Co., 144 Cal. App. 4th 824, 833 (Cal. Ct. App. 2006) (the trial court correctly concluded that failure to state a warranty claim under state law necessarily constituted failure to state claim under Magnuson-Moss). As shown above, Plaintiffs failed to plead a sufficient factual basis to support their express and implied warranty claims. Thus, their MMWA claims necessarily fail. Further, contrary to Plaintiffs allegation, the plain language of 15 U.S.C. section 2301(6) contradicts Plaintiffs MMWA claim. That section provides, in pertinent part, that a written warranty is a written affirmation of fact or written promise . . . which relates to the nature of the material or workmanship and affirms or promises that such material or workmanship is defect free or will meet a specified level of performance over a specified period of time. 15 U.S.C. 2301(6)(A). The ENERGY STAR logo, by itself, is neither a written affirmation of fact nor a written promise; it plainly does not relate to the material or workmanship of the refrigerators, and it says nothing at all about whether
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 18 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 representing the [KitchenAid refrigerators] as ENERGY STAR qualified, and by 22 misrepresenting the energy efficiency of the [refrigerators]. (Compl. 59.) Plaintiffs also 23 allege that Defendants violated two other sections 1770(a)(7) and (9) of the CLRA by 24 representing the [KitchenAid refrigerators] as ENERGY STAR qualified, and by 25 26 27 28 13
such material or workmanship will be defect free or will meet a specified level of performance over a specified period of time. Thus, on its face, the statute establishes that Plaintiffs have not pled a cognizable MMWA claim. V. PLAINTIFFS HAVE NO CLAIM FOR UNJUST ENRICHMENT Plaintiffs purport to bring a claim for unjust enrichment alleging that they conferred a benefit on Defendants by buying their KitchenAid refrigerators and that it would be unjust and inequitable for Defendants to retain this benefit because Defendants allegedly misrepresented the appliances as ENERGY STAR compliant and misrepresented the energy consumption of the refrigerators. (Compl. 55-56.) Unjust enrichment, however, is not an independent cause of action under California law. The phrase Unjust Enrichment does not describe a theory of recovery, but an effect: the result of a failure to make restitution under circumstances where it is equitable to do so. Melchior v. New Line Prod., Inc., 106 Cal. App. 4th 799, 793 (Cal. Ct. App. 2003). Unjust enrichment is a general principle, underlying various legal doctrines and remedies, rather than a remedy itself. Id. (quotation omitted). Simply put, there is no cause of action in California for unjust enrichment. Id.; see also In re Toyota, 754 F. Supp. 2d at 1194 (dismissing claim for unjust enrichment as not cognizable under California law). Thus, Plaintiffs claim for unjust enrichment fails to state a claim for which relief may be granted and should be dismissed. VI. PLAINTIFFS FAIL TO PLEAD A VIOLATION OF THE CLRA Plaintiffs allege that Whirlpool violated section 1770(a)(5) of the CLRA by

5
misrepresenting the energy efficiency of the [refrigerators]. 5 (Compl. 60-61.) Plaintiffs factual allegations, however, are insufficient to plead a CLRA violation. A. Plaintiffs Have Not Alleged a Tr ansaction With Whir lpool
Plaintiffs CLRA claims against Whirlpool fail because they have not alleged any facts to show that they entered into an agreement or transaction with Whirlpool that resulted in a sale or lease of goods or services. A transaction is an agreement between a consumer and any other person. Id. 1761(e). Plaintiffs admit that they bought their KitchenAid refrigerators from retail vendors. (Compl. 18-19.) They have not, because they cannot, allege that Whirlpool was a party to those transactions. Consequently, Plaintiffs cannot sue Whirlpool under the CLRA. See Cal. Civ. Code 1780(a) (Any consumer who suffers any damage as a result of the use or employment by any person of a method, act, or practice declared to be unlawful by Section 1770 may bring an action against that person . . . . (emphasis added)). Plaintiffs CLRA claim against Whirlpool should be dismissed. B. Plaintiffs Have Not Pr ovided the Requir ed Notice to Pacific Sales or Best Buy Under Section 1782(a)
A plaintiff seeking damages under the CLRA must provide notice to the defendant under California Civil Code section 1782(a). Under section 1782(a), the consumer must provide written notice, sent 30 days before filing suit, notifying the defendant of the alleged violation and demanding that the defendant provide a remedy. The Complaint does not adequately allege that Plaintiffs have complied with this notice provision with respect to Best Buy or Pacific Sales. (Compare Compl. 63 (alleging that a CLRA notice letter was served on Whirlpool on November 29, 2011, prior to filing of this Complaint) with id. 64-65 (alleging generically only that CLRA notice letters were served on Defendants
Because Plaintiffs CLRA claims are based on alleged misrepresentations, they are subject to Rule 9(b)s heightened pleading standard. In re Toyota, 754 F. Supp. 2d at 1172.
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 20 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Pacific Sales and Best Buy [p]rior to filing this Complaint).) See Keilholtz v. Superior Fireplace Co., No. 08-00836, 2009 WL 839076, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 30, 2009) (finding that literal application of the notice provisions is the only way to accomplish the CLRAs purposes). Thus, the CLRA claims against Best Buy and Pacific Sales also fail. C. Plaintiffs Have Not Alleged With Par ticular ity Any M isr epr esentation
Even assuming that Plaintiffs could show that they are entitled to bring a CLRA claim against Whirlpool, Best Buy, or Pacific Sales, their CLRA claims still fail because Plaintiffs do not allege the who, what, when, where, and how of the alleged misrepresentation. Vess, 317 F.3d at 1106. Likewise, Plaintiffs have not explained what is false or misleading about any unspecified representation concerning the 2008 model-year KitchenAid refrigerators they bought, or why such representations are allegedly false. See Cooper, 137 F.3d at 625. Further, because the CLRA prohibits unfair or deceptive acts . . . intended to result . . . in the sale or lease of goods or services to consumer, Cal. Civ. Code 1770(a) (emphasis added), California federal courts have held that, under the CLRA, plaintiffs must sufficiently allege that a defendant was aware of a defect at the time of sale to survive a motion to dismiss. Wilson v. Hewlett-Packard Co., No. CV 10-16249, 2012 WL 502442, at *7 (9th Cir. Feb. 16, 2012). The Complaint fails to allege any facts that, if true, would show that any Defendant was aware, in December 2008, that either of the subject KitchenAid refrigerator models did not comply with the ENERGY STAR program requirements. Still further, even assuming Plaintiffs had properly alleged that they saw and relied on the ENERGY STAR logo on their KitchenAid refrigerators before their respective purchases, there is no allegation as to what Plaintiffs understood the logo to mean. The Complaint includes generic allegations about the nature and meaning of the ENERGY STAR designation and the requirements for becoming ENERGY STAR qualified. (Compl. 4-7,14-17.) But there is no allegation that Plaintiffs had any particular understanding (much less the same understanding that their lawyers had when they drafted the complaint) 15
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 21 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 of the ENERGY STAR program at the time they bought their refrigerators, nor have they pled what that understanding was based on. (Id.) Moreover, Plaintiffs must plead facts that, if true, showed that they relied on an alleged misrepresentation. Cholakyan v. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC, 796 F. Supp. 2d 1220, 1228 (C.D. Cal. 2011) ([A] plaintiff suing under the CLRA for misrepresentations in connection with a sale [must] plead and prove she relied on a material misrepresentation. (quotation omitted)). Although the Complaint alleges that the Plaintiffs would not have bought their KitchenAid refrigerators if they had known that the refrigerators were not ENERGY STAR qualified (Compl. 18-19), this shows, at most, that ENERGY STAR compliance was material; it does not show reliance. See Cattie v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 504 F. Supp. 2d 939, 946 (S.D. Cal. 2007) (distinguishing reliance and materiality under CLRA and defining the latter as being of sufficient importance that the plaintiff would not have acted as she did but for alleged misrepresentation). Finally, for the reasons stated above, Plaintiffs cannot simply point to the September 2011 disqualification and their December 2008 purchases and expect the Court to fill in the omitted facts that are necessary to support a CLRA claim. See In re Sony Grand Wega, 758 F. Supp. 2d at 1089 (dismissing UCL, CLRA, and FAL claims because the plaintiffs have not sufficiently alleged that [any] representations were untrue or misleading at the time they were made). VII. PLAINTIFFS FAIL TO PLEAD A VIOLATION OF THE UCL Plaintiffs allege that Defendants violated the UCL through unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices. (Compl. 69-72.) The UCL prohibits unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business act[s] or practice[s] and unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising. Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 17200. A plaintiff may pursue a UCL claim under any or all of three theories: the unlawfulness, fraudulent, or unfairness prongs. S. Bay Chevrolet v. Gen. Motors Acceptance Corp., 72 Cal. App. 4th 861, 878 (Cal. Ct. App. 1999). As explained below, Plaintiffs have failed to establish a claim under any prong of the 16
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 22 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 UCL. A. Plaintiffs Fail to Offer Any Facts to Suppor t an Unlawful UCL Claim
Plaintiffs claim that Defendants violated the unlawful prong of the UCL by violating the EPCA, NECPA, NAEDA, and regulations promulgated thereunder governing the energy efficiency of refrigerators. (Compl. 70.) First, and again, Plaintiffs make no attempt to allege which Defendant purportedly violated which statute or regulation, or how. (Id. 1-135.) Moreover, Plaintiffs do not allege nor could theythat having an appliance disqualified from the ENERGY STAR Program is tantamount to a violation of law. In short, other than the conclusory allegation quoted above, Plaintiffs have failed to offer any factual support for their unlawful claim under the ULC, and it should be dismissed. See Berryman v. Merit Prop. Mgmt., Inc., 152 Cal. App. 4th 1544, 1554 (Cal. Ct. App. 2007) (dismissing UCL claim because the complaint fails to plead facts to support its allegations that Merit has violated each of these statutes); Brothers v. Hewlett-Packard Co., No. C-06-02254 RMW, 2006 WL 3093685, at *7 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 31, 2006) (dismissing UCL claim where the complaint failed to identify the particular section of the statute that was violated and describe with reasonable particularity the facts supporting the violation). B. Plaintiffs Fail to Offer Any Facts to Suppor t an Unfair UCL Claim
Plaintiffs claim that Defendants violated the unfair prong of the UCL by violating the policy or spirit of the EPCA, NECPA, NAECA, and regulations promulgated thereunder, governing the energy efficiency of refrigerators. (Compl. 71.) A business practice is unfair if the consumer injury is substantial, is not outweighed by any countervailing benefit to consumers or to competition, and is not an injury the consumers themselves could reasonably have avoided. Daugherty, 144 Cal. App. 4th at 839. The plaintiff must sufficiently allege all three elements to state a claim under the unfair prong. Id. Here, Plaintiffs sole allegation in support of this prong is that an unspecified Defendant somehow violated the policy or spirit of unspecified provision(s) of various federal statutes and regulatory requirements. (Compl. 71.) Plaintiffs conclusory 17
Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-1 Filed 03/12/12 Page 23 of 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 allegation even fails to recite the necessary elements of an unfairness claimthere is no allegation of a substantial consumer injury, no allegation that such an injury was not outweighed by a countervailing benefit, and no allegation that such an injury could not have been reasonably avoided by the consumer. Plaintiffs allegations are plainly insufficient to state a claim under the unfairness prong of the UCL, and this claim should be dismissed. C. Plaintiffs Fail to Plead Any Facts to Support a Fraudulent UCL Claim
Plaintiffs allege that Defendants violated the fraudulent prong of the UCL by representing the [KitchenAid refrigerators] as ENERGY STAR qualified and by misrepresenting the energy efficient of the [refrigerators]. (Compl. 72.) This is the same lone allegation Plaintiffs offered to support their CLRA claims, and it fails here too. Rule 9(b) requires the identification of the circumstances constituting fraud [] the pleader must state the time, place, and specific content of the false representations as well as the identities of the parties to the misrepresentation. Odom v. Microsoft Corp., 486 F.3d 541, 543 (9th Cir. 2007) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). Plaintiffs do not specify the time, place, or medium in which any allegedly false or misleading statement was communicated, nor do they offer any specific allegations concerning the content of any allegedly false or misleading statement. Plaintiffs likewise fail to specify which representations can be attributable to which Defendant. Plaintiffs fail to identify any statement that they either personally read, heard, or otherwise received, let alone that such statement actually deceived, and thus proximately caused them harm. As a result, Plaintiffs have not pled a fraudulent claim under the UCL with the requisite particularity. See, e.g., Arikat v. JP Morgan Chase & Co., 430 F. Supp. 2d 1013, 1022-23 (N.D. Cal. 2006) ([P]laintiffs allegations improperly ascribe conduct generally to all thirteen defendants. Plaintiffs allegations in support of their fraud claim are further deficient in failing to allege specific facts regarding how each defendant has committed fraud upon plaintiffs.); Swartz v. KPMG LLP, 476 F. 3d 756, 764 (9th Cir. 2007) (heightened pleading requires identifying the parties to the misrepresentation). 18

To state a claim under the fraudulent prong of the UCL, Plaintiffs must allege Defendants made a misrepresentation and that the misrepresentation was false at the time it was made. See Wilson, 2012 WL 502442, at *7 (noting fraud claims under UCL have intent requirement and the plaintiffs must show that HP was aware of the alleged defect at the time the Laptops were sold); In re Sony Grand Wega, 758 F. Supp. 2d at 1089 (dismissing UCL and other claims because the plaintiffs did not allege representations were false at the time they were made).The Complaint does not allege that any purported representation about the ENERGY STAR compliance of the KitchenAid refrigerators was false when made, nor does the Complaint allege that any Defendant was aware of such falsity at the time the KitchenAid refrigerators were purchased. Moreover, Plaintiffs must adequately plead that they relied on any alleged misrepresentations in order to state a claim under the fraud prong of the UCL. [A]ctual reliance [on alleged misrepresentations] is required to have standing to sue under the UCL or FAL. Peviani v. Natural Balance, Inc., 774 F. Supp. 2d 1066, 1070 (S.D. Cal. 2011). As explained above, Plaintiffs allege that they would not have purchased the KitchenAid refrigerators if they had known they were not ENERGY STAR compliant. This allegation merely supports a finding of materiality, it does not show that Plaintiffs actually relied on the designation when making their purchases. Finally, the fraud prong of the UCL also requires Plaintiffs to allege that members of the public are likely to be deceived. Daugherty, 144 Cal. App. 4th at 838. Rule 9(b)s heightened pleading standard applies to these allegations as well. Parrish v. Natl Football League Players Assn, 534 F. Supp. 2d 1081, 1093 (N.D. Cal. 2007). Plaintiffs have not made any such allegations, nor have Plaintiffs alleged facts that, if true, would support such a finding. See Barden v. DaimlerChrysler, 136 Cal. App. 4th 1255, 1274-1275 (Cal. Ct. App. 2006) (dismissing UCL fraud claim where the plaintiff alleged merely that the public would likely be deceived, without pleading any facts showing the basis for that conclusion).

(Compl. 20
VIII. PLAINTIFFS FAIL TO PLEAD A VIOLATION OF THE FAL Plaintiffs allege that Defendants committed acts of false advertising, as defined by the FAL, by using false and misleading statements to promote the sale of [KitchenAid refrigerators] as described above. (Compl. 77.) Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants knew or should have known that the statements were untrue and misleading, and that the general public is and was likely to be deceived by these unspecified misstatements. (Id. 78-79.) The FAL prohibits any statement that is untrue or misleading and made with the intent directly or indirectly to dispose of property or services. Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 17500. To state a claim for a FAL violation, Plaintiffs must allege that members of the public are likely to be deceived. In re Tobacco II, 46 Cal. 4th 298, 312 (Cal. 2009). Plaintiffs do not specify the time, place, or medium in which any allegedly false advertisement was communicated, nor do they offer any specific allegations concerning the content of any allegedly false advertisement. Plaintiffs likewise fail to specify whether any advertisement can be attributed to any Defendant. See In re Sony Grand Wega, 758 F. Supp. 2d at 1093 (dismissing FAL because the plaintiff failed to identify specific advertisements, when and where they were shown, or why they were untrue or misleading). Even assuming that Plaintiffs had adequately alleged a specific advertisement regarding the ENERGY STAR qualification of the KitchenAid refrigerators, the FAL claim would still fail because Plaintiffs have not connected the 2011 disqualification to their December 2008 purchase of similar units. See id. at 1089 (dismissing FAL claim because the plaintiffs have not sufficiently alleged that [any] representations were untrue or misleading at the time they were made). IX. PLAINTIFFS FAIL TO PLEAD ADEQUATELY THE CONSUMER FRAUD LAWS OF ALL 50 STATES

81-135.) As support for these various statutory violations, Plaintiffs make the same conclusory allegationsnamely, that by mislabeling the KitchenAid refrigerators as ENERGY STAR qualified, Defendants engaged in unfair competition or unlawful, misleading, unconscionable, or deceptive acts in violation of each of the listed state statutes. (Id.) Plaintiffs then list nearly all of the 50 states consumer protection statutes and for each statute allege only that Defendants have violated the statute by engaging in unfair competition or unfair or deceptive acts or practices. (Id.) Even assuming that the laundry list of statutes and conclusory allegations can be construed as a complete recitation of all of the elements needed for each statute (and that plainly is incorrect), Count VIII would still fail because Plaintiffs have failed to allege facts, that if true, would support a finding of any statutory violation. A similar pleading tactic was considered and rejected by the court in In re Sony Grand Wega: In a putative class action, the Court will not conduct a detailed choice-of-law analysis during the pleading stage. See Speyer v. Avis Rent a Car Sys., Inc., 415 F. Supp. 2d 1090, 1094 (S.D. Cal. 2005) (citing Barth v. Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., 661 F. Supp. 193, 203 (N.D. Cal. 1987)) (in ruling on a motion to dismiss a class action complaint prior to class certification, courts generally consider only the claims of the named plaintiffs). But Plaintiffs cannot use class actions to escape pleading requirements. In re Bayer Corp. Combination Aspirin Products Marketing and Sales Practices Litig., 701 F. Supp. 2d 356, 378 (E.D.N.Y. 2010). Merely listing another states consumer fraud statutes is insufficient to state a claim; labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. at 1964-65; see Wright v. Gen. Mills, Inc., No. 08-CV1532 L(NLS), 2009 WL 3247148, at *5 (S.D. Cal. Sept. 30, 2009). Moreover, for state law claims grounded in fraud, the circumstances of the fraud must be stated with particularity under Rule 9(b). Vess, 317 F.3d at 110304 (emphasis in original); Nordberg v. Trilegiant Corp., 445 F. Supp. 2d 1082, 1097 (N.D. Cal. 2006). 754 F. Supp. 2d at 1096-97 (emphasis in original). Plaintiffs have provided nothing but labels and conclusions to support these various statutory violations, and this claim too should be dismissed.

CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the Court should dismiss Plaintiffs Class Action Complaint in its entirety. Dated: March 12, 2012 Respectfully submitted,

Case 2:12-cv-00125-TLN-JFM Document 18-3 Filed 03/12/12 Page 3 of 33 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Use nonflammable cleaner. Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker kit ready models only). Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).
Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating. Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous even if they will sit for just a few days. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Remove packaging materials. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see Refrigerator Safety.
Important information to know about glass shelves and covers: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
Location Requirements
Electrical Requirements
WARNING
WARNING
Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for " (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.
Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See Using the Controls.
2" (5.08 cm)
12
/ " (1.25 cm)
NOTES: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55F (13C).
Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. TOOLS NEEDED:

Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54" (137.16 cm) is recommended.
Flat-blade screwdriver " and " Open-end or two adjustable wrenches
" Nut driver " Drill bit Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a " (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or " (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily. IMPORTANT: All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa): Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the " (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing. 7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten. 8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. 3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall. 4. Turn shutoff valve ON. 5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See Water Filtration System.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
A B
Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water. 3. Locate a " (12.70 mm) to 1" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator. IMPORTANT:

A. Tube clamp B. Copper tubing C. Compression nut D. Valve inlet
Make sure it is a cold water pipe. Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the " (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use " (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square. 5. Using a cordless drill, drill a " (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing. NOTES: The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.
Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid spot freezing and can be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28 to 32F (-2 to 0C). The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at the lowest meat setting. To store meat: Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature. To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures. NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the freezer compartment. To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position. To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF (right) position. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
WARNING
Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.
REMEMBER:

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism. Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass. IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities. 3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press the release button to lift the storage bin up and out. NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover (flipper door) on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed. 2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place.
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
WARNING
Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Important information to know about glass shelves and covers: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.
Location Requirements
Electrical Requirements
WARNING
WARNING
Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for " (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See Using the Controls.

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. TOOLS NEEDED:

NOTES: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55F (13C).
Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54" (137.16 cm) is recommended.
Flat-blade screwdriver " and " Open-end or two adjustable wrenches
" Nut driver " Drill bit Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a " (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or " (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily. IMPORTANT: All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing. 7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten. 8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa): Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Connect to Refrigerator Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water tube on the rear of the refrigerator. 3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long enough, a " x " (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water supply line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing. NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See Water Filtration System.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
