United States — Thousands of Amana air conditioning and heat pump units have been recalled across the country after federal safety officials warned they may pose a potential fire hazard due to an electrical defect.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on June 25, affecting approximately 13,514 Amana Window Room Air Conditioners (WRAC) and Through-the-Wall (TTW) air conditioners and heat pumps manufactured by Daikin Comfort Technologies, Inc.
Consumers who own one of the recalled units are being advised to stop using the products immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund.
Why the Air Conditioners Are Being Recalled
According to the CPSC, the recall was issued because the heating element can remain energized during a ground fault even when the unit is switched off.
