What happened

Carrier Guam and the CPSC have announced a recall of 7,000 BTU window air conditioners, model number 77ZFA007101, with specific serial number ranges. These units can corrode when exposed to salty sea spray, which can damage the electrical capacitor and create a fire hazard. The affected model and serial numbers can be found on the top of the plastic evaporator scroll behind the front plastic grill, and the units have "Carrier" written on the front.

Consumers who own one of these recalled air conditioners should contact Carrier Guam to arrange a free inspection and repair. Alternatively, consumers may choose to purchase a replacement unit at half price instead of having the original unit repaired.
