Dispute resolution process
Whirlpool has set up a centralized team that takes care of all supplier invoice/credit note and payments queries. Whirlpool are committed to working closely with our suppliers to resolve any disputes in a timely basis. Should a dispute arise a supplier can send questions to a dedicated email address (apqueries_uk@whirlpool.com). Each query is assigned a unique ticket number for tracking and we endeavor to respond to any query within 48 hours. If required Whirlpool will also involve the original buyer/requestor to facilitate the resolution of the dispute.
