Nidec Motor is recalling about 16,000 variable speed swimming pool motors sold under the Emerson and EcoTech EZ brand names. The motors were sold between September 2010 and October 2016 for between $400 and $500. The pump control cover on these motors can be improperly grounded, creating a significant risk of electrical shock for anyone nearby. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should stop using the motors immediately and contact the manufacturer to schedule a free repair by a qualified technician.
The pump's user interface control cover is not properly grounded, which can allow electrical current to energize the exterior of the control box. This creates a hazard where a consumer could receive an electrical shock while operating or touching the pool equipment.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swimming pool motors and contact Nidec Motor Corp. (NMC) to schedule a free repair by a qualified technician to install an external ground lead.
