Amana Through-the-Wall ACs, Heat Pumps Recalled Over Fire Risk

Washington, D.C. - Homeowners and businesses with Amana through-the-wall air conditioners and heat pumps were urged Thursday to stop using affected units after the manufacturer and federal safety officials announced a recall citing a fire risk.

According to the CPSC, Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing is recalling Amana-branded through-the-wall air conditioners and heat pumps after determining a component can short and produce flames, creating a serious risk of injury from fire.

The recall notice says the problem stems from a snubber circuit inside the units that can emit flames if it shorts. The agency warned that the malfunction could lead to a fire that threatens people and property and stressed that owners should treat the risk as immediate.

Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing initiated the recall and is offering remedies to affected consumers. The CPSC said owners should stop using the recalled units right away and contact the manufacturer for instructions on obtaining a refund or a replacement. The recall announcement was posted Sept. 3, 2026.

The notice did not list specific model numbers or retailers in the bulletin released with the recall summary. Consumers unsure whether their unit is included are advised to consult the full recall posting or contact Daikin customer service for confirmation and next steps.
