In the middle of a heatwave summer, roughly 13,500 Amana window and wall units have a defect that can keep their heating element live even when switched off — and the remedy is a full refund.
What Was Recalled?
Daikin Comfort Technologies recalled about 13,514 Amana-brand window and through-the-wall air conditioners and heat pumps on June 25, 2026, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recalled units — model numbers beginning with PB, AH, and AE, sold from April through December 2025 — have a ground-fault defect that can keep the heating element energized even when the unit is turned off, which can melt components and start a fire. Daikin has received one report of a unit with a melted frame; no injuries have been reported.The timing matters: these are exactly the units running hardest right now, and the defect operates when the unit appears to be off. The CPSC notice instructs owners to stop using recalled units immediately.
What Should You Do?
Check the model number on your Amana window or through-the-wall unit — recalled models begin with PB, AH, or AE and were sold from April through December 2025. The complete model table is on the official CPSC notice. If your unit is included, stop using it and unplug it, then submit the refund request on the official Amana recall page, following its instructions for providing the model and serial number. The remedy is a full refund.Frequently Asked Questions
