Overview
- Daikin Comfort Technologies issued the recall on June 25 for roughly 13,500 Amana window‑room and through‑the‑wall air conditioners and heat pumps sold nationwide between April 2025 and December 2025.
- The company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission say a heating element can remain energized during a ground fault even when the unit is switched off, creating a potential fire or burn hazard.
- Recalled models have model numbers beginning with PB, AH or AE (examples include PBH113J35AA, PBE123J35AA, AH183J35AA and AE183J35AA) and are commonly installed in hotels, apartment buildings and other commercial spaces.
- Owners are told to stop using recalled units immediately and request a full refund from Daikin by cutting the unit’s power cord and submitting photos of the serial number and the cut cord as proof; one report of unit plastic melting has been logged and no injuries have been reported.
- Because many units sit in multi‑unit and commercial settings, the refund and replacement process could leave buildings without cooling during a major heat wave and complicate scheduling for dealers and building managers.
