Wisconsin Lemon Laws
All consumer products and appliances sold or leased after January 1, 1987 with defects that substantially impair their functionality are considered "lemons" in the eyes of the law. The defect must render it unsafe or unreliable for normal use, or severely decrease the market value. The appliance or product must require multiple repairs while under the manufacturer's factory warranty to qualify under Lemon Law. It is a common belief that lemon laws only apply to cars and trucks. This is somewhat true.

What Does Lemon Law Cover?
In some states only new cars and trucks are covered; however, according to The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, lemon laws legally apply on the federal level to all types of consumer products including motorcycles, boats, computers, home appliances, motor homes, as well as numerous other appliances and products. Unlike under state law, used vehicles are covered under the federal lemon law if you have a manufacturer's warranty, original or extended.
Does Wisconsin Have a Lemon Law?
According to Wisconsin Lemon Law, if a manufacturer is unable to permanently fix the defect after a reasonable number of attempts, it must accept the return of the motor vehicle and replace it with a comparable new motor vehicle and refund all repair costs and any expenses incurred by obtaining alternative transportation. The manufacturer may also accept the return of the vehicle and refund all purchase costs including taxes, fees, collateral costs, etc. It is important that you make sure all repairs are made by the manufacturer, dealership, or other authorized diagnostic center.
