Goodman Company is recalling approximately 233,500 Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps (PTAC) sold under the Amana, Century, Comfort-Aire, Goodman, and York International brands. These beige units, rated 230/208 volt and 3.5 kW, were primarily installed in hotels, motels, and apartment buildings between January 2007 and June 2008. The recall was initiated because the units' power cords can overheat, and there have been five reports of cords smoking or catching fire. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the units to receive a free replacement power cord and a possible control board inspection or replacement.
