Goodman Company has expanded its recall of approximately 5,300 additional air conditioning and heating units (adding to about 233,500 units previously recalled) because the power cords can overheat. This recall includes Amana, Century, Comfort-Aire, Goodman, and York International-branded units, specifically Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps (PTAC) and Room Air Conditioners (RAC). There have been approximately 10 reports of these units catching fire, including four incidents that caused property damage. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug these beige units, which were sold nationwide between January 2007 and June 2008 for between $700 and $1,000.
The power cords on these heating and cooling units can overheat during operation. This overheating poses a significant risk of causing burns to users or igniting a fire within the unit, which can spread to the surrounding property.
Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the air conditioning and heating units and call the number listed for your brand or go to www.amana-ptac.com to request a free replacement power cord. Non-commercial owners will receive free installation of the power cord and inspection of the PTAC control board for damages. If the control board has been damaged by the recalled power cord, non-commercial owners will also receive a free installation of a replacement control board. Commercial owners are being contacted directly and will install the power cord and inspect the control board. If the control board has been damaged by the recalled power cord, Goodman will provide a new control board for commercial owners to install. Recalled RAC units do not have a control board.
