Glen Dimplex Americas has recalled about 12,900 Cadet-branded Apex72 high wall electric heaters. The fan in these heaters can malfunction and fail to turn on, which causes the unit to overheat and ignite internally. One incident of a heater catching fire has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. These white fan-forced heaters were sold at electrical distributors nationwide between February 2014 and February 2024.
The heater's fan may fail to start, leading the unit to overheat and ignite internally, creating a fire hazard for residents.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heaters and contact Glen Dimplex for information on the free heater replacement and installation of the new heater at no cost to the consumer. Glen Dimplex Americas is working with apartment complexes and other living facilities directly to replace the recalled heaters and install replacements. For consumers who purchased and installed the recalled heater independently, Glen Dimplex Americas will provide for the installation of the replacement heater by a qualified technician at no cost to the consumer.
