Packaged Terminal Air Conditioning (PTAC) units
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Friedrich Air Conditioning Co. is recalling certain packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) units because the rotary dial switch can be positioned between the high and low speed fan settings, which can cause the units to overheat and possibly catch fire. The recall includes all P series PTAC units manufactured between November 1, 2002, and December 31, 2003, with serial numbers LBLP00001 through LCMP9999, as well as P series units that received heater assembly service between June 1, 2003, and December 31, 2003. The model and serial numbers can be found on the nameplate located behind the plastic front cover directly below the control panel.
Consumers who own one of these units should contact Friedrich Air Conditioning Co. for instructions on how to receive a free repair. Until the repair is completed, owners should not use these PTACs in heating mode.
