Carrier has recalled about 530 WeatherExpert 6-23 ton, 48/50 series, light commercial rooftop HVAC units equipped with a humidimizer dehumidification feature. The units were sold nationwide between March 2014 and September 2017. A defect in the control board can cause the humidimizer fan to stay on even if a connected smoke detector is triggered, which creates a fire hazard. One incident of a fan failing to shut off has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. Carrier is providing a free replacement and installation of the electronic control board for all affected units.
If a fire occurs and triggers a smoke detector, the HVAC fan may fail to shut off as intended, potentially spreading smoke or fueling a fire within a commercial or institutional building.
Purchasers should immediately contact their Carrier dealer for a free repair, which consists of free replacement and installation of the electronic control board. The firm is contacting all known purchasers.
