  • Whirlpool: ENERGY STAR Referral (MVWC6ESWW1)
    Document
    March 16, 2011
    Letter referring Whirlpool Corporation (clothes washers) to the EPA, March 16, 2011. Having found Whirlpool in violation of Energy Stay energy efficiency requirements with one of its Maytag clothes washers, DOE notified Whirlpool of the matter and completed additional testing. Whirlpool replied that the measurements of the test procedure accounted for the noncompliance, after which DOE issued guidance on the testing procedures consistent with its testing (and different from the Whirlpool procedure). Whirlpool also noted that the model in question is no longer in production. The matter is referred to the EPA.

  • Friedrich: ENERGY STAR Referral (SM18M30)
    Document
    March 16, 2011
    Friedrich Air Conditioning Company (room air conditioner), EPA Referral Letter. After being notified by the DOE that a model of room air conditioner manufactured by Friedrich was in violation of Energy Star efficiency requirements, Friedrich responded by suggesting testing practices to alter the energy use of the product. Finding that these practices were not included in the product packaging/instructions, DOE found these responses insufficient to mitigate its energy efficiency findings. Friedrich also requested that ASHRAE Standard 16-1983 (RA99), which would change the results based on barometric pressure in the test lab, be applied, though it was not implemented at the time of DOE testing. This shift could bring the model within Energy Star compliance. The matter is then referred to the EPA.
