Item 8.01    Other Events.

         Fedders Corporation (the "Company") announced on August 31, 2005 that
it has reached an agreement in principle with holders representing more than a
majority in principal amount of Fedders North America's $155 million principal
amount of 9 7/8% Senior Notes due 2014 (the "Senior Notes") on a waiver of the
existing event of default under the Senior Notes. The event of default results
from the Company's failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004, as previously announced on June 30, 2005, and other defaults
resulting from its failure to timely file its subsequent quarterly reports. The
Company has also reached agreement in principle with its senior lender with
respect to the waiver under the Senior Notes and a waiver of the default under
its agreement with the senior lender, also related to the failure to timely
file the Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports. Both agreements are
subject to completion of final documentation and there can be no assurance that
the Company will reach a final agreement with the holders of the Senior Notes
and the Company's senior lender. The Company will not make the September 1,
2005 interest payment due on its Senior Notes until final documentation
concerning the waiver is completed with the holders of the Senior Notes. The
Company intends to make the interest payment promptly following receipt of the
requisite waiver.

         A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated herein by reference.
