Amana air conditioners and heat pumps recalled for fire and burn hazard
What this means
Certain Amana brand window and through-the-wall air conditioners and heat pumps can experience a ground fault that leaves the heating element energized even after the unit is turned off. This poses a risk of fire or burn injury. One report of plastic melting on a unit has been received, though no injuries have occurred so far.
- Stop using the recalled unit immediately if you own a model starting with PB, AH, or AE.
- Contact Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing at the recall website to request a full refund.
- Cut the product's power cord and photograph the serial number and cut cord.
- Upload the photo to complete your refund request.
