Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has announced a recall of approximately 13,514 Amana brand Window-Room-Air-Conditioners (WRAC) and Through the Wall (TTW) air conditioners or heat pumps. This recall, issued on June 25, 2026, addresses a hazard where the heating element can remain energized even when the unit is turned off, posing a significant risk of fire or serious burn injuries to consumers. About 53 of these units were also sold in Canada.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The recalled units are white and typically have the Amana brand name displayed on their control covers. They are commonly installed in commercial settings such as hotels and apartment buildings, as well as in individual rooms. The specific models subject to this recall include Through the Wall units with model numbers beginning with “PB” (PBH113J35AA, PBH093J35AA, PBH073J35AA, PBE123J35AA, PBE093J35AA) and Window-Room-Air-Conditioners with model numbers AH183J35AA, AH123J35AA, AH093J35AA, AE183J35AA, AE123J35AA, and AE093J35AA. Consumers can locate the model number on a white sticker on the front edge of the base pan of the unit. The serial number can be found beneath the barcode, also on this sticker. These units were sold nationwide by direct sales and heating and cooling dealers between April 2025 and December 2025, with prices ranging from $850 to $1,500.
Consumers are strongly advised to immediately stop using the recalled air conditioners and heat pumps. To receive a full refund, customers must contact Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing, Inc. (DCT) to initiate the recall process. This will involve providing personal contact information, cutting the product’s power cord, and submitting a photograph of the cut cord along with the unit’s serial number. DCT has reported one incident where plastic on a unit melted, though no injuries have been reported to date. For further assistance or to begin the refund process, consumers can contact DCT toll-free at 855-812-8989, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Central Time, or visit http://www.amana-ptac.com/amana-ttw-wrac-recall or http://www.amana-ptac.com and navigate to the “Product Recall” link.
