WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Amana Refrigeration, Inc., of Amana, IA, is voluntarily recalling the control switches on certain models of its 208/230-volt room air conditioners. The switch may overheat in the "off" position and cause a fire.
CPSC was informed of this potential hazard by Amana Refrigeration, Inc. after Amana received notice from the control switch manufacturer that overheating could occur. Amana is aware of 14 switch failures with no reported injuries.
The affected room air conditioners were distributed by Amana nationwide from June 1987 through October 1991. Approximately 130,000 units were sold to consumers or remain in dealer inventory. The air conditioners sold for about $500 -$600 each. The serial numbers of the models included in the recall are:
