Trane and American Standard have recalled approximately 3,900 accessory heaters installed in TAM7 and TAM8 air handlers. These units, manufactured between November 2014 and March 2015, may have been installed with reverse polarity on one of the circuit breakers. There have been 10 reports of the heaters tripping circuit breakers, including one incident involving heat-related damage to the unit. The affected heaters were sold by independent dealers nationwide from January 2015 through April 2015 for about $120.
Incorrect electrical wiring can cause the heater to overheat, posing a serious fire hazard to the home. While no injuries have been reported, the defect has already caused heat-related damage to at least one unit.
Consumers should immediately stop using the heater function by switching the system to cooling mode or off, and contact their Trane or American Standard independent dealer to schedule an inspection and replacement. The system's air conditioning or cooling function may still be used. Trane is contacting its customers directly.
