4,633 Amana Through-The-Wall ACs and Heat Pumps Recalled Over Fire Risk 2026

About 4,633 units in the United States — plus roughly 126 more sold in Canada — are being pulled from use after Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing, Inc. (DCT) announced a recall of certain Amana brand Through the Wall (TTW) air conditioners and heat pumps. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says a component inside the units can short out and emit flames, creating a serious fire hazard for anyone nearby.

The affected units are white, climate-control appliances most commonly installed in hotels, apartment buildings, and other commercial spaces rather than private homes. The ‘Amana’ brand name appears printed on most of the units’ control covers, making them easy to spot for building managers and maintenance staff.

Products Affected by This Recall

The recall covers Amana TTW air conditioners and one heat pump model. All recalled units carry a model number beginning with ‘PB,’ printed on a white sticker located on the front edge of the base pan. The specific models included are:

• PBC092J00AA — Air Conditioner
• PBC093J00AA — Air Conditioner
• PBC122J00AA — Air Conditioner
• PBC123J00AA — Air Conditioner
• PBH092J12AA — Heat Pump

These units were sold through direct sales and distribution customers nationwide from April 2025 through June 2026, at prices ranging from $625 to $900. They were manufactured in India and imported by Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing, Inc., of Houston, Texas.

What Went Wrong?

According to CPSC, the snubber circuit inside the affected units can emit flames if it shorts out, posing a risk of serious injury from fire. DCT has received two reports of a component on the control board shorting. No injuries have been reported in connection with the issue to date, but the fire risk was serious enough to prompt a full recall and refund program rather than a repair.

Where Were These Products Sold?

Because these units are primarily used in commercial climate-control settings, the people most likely to be affected are property managers, hotel operators, and facilities staff at apartment buildings and commercial spaces where the units were installed — rather than typical retail consumers. The recall was issued in conjunction with a parallel alert from Canadian authorities, reflecting the units sold north of the border.

What Consumers Need to Do Now

Anyone with one of the recalled units should stop using it immediately. To receive a full refund, owners need to contact DCT directly and follow a specific verification process: submitting their contact information, cutting the unit’s power cord, and uploading a photo showing both the product’s serial number and the cut cord.

DCT can be reached toll-free at 833-730-0939 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, or online through the company’s dedicated recall page at amana-ptac.com, where consumers can click ‘Product Recall’ at the bottom right of the page for full instructions.

What the Agency Said

CPSC classified this action as a Fast Track Recall, a designation used when a company works cooperatively with the agency to announce a recall quickly after identifying a hazard, generally without CPSC formally determining that the product violates a specific rule. The agency’s recall number for this action is 26-734.

CPSC reminds the public that deaths, injuries, and property damage linked to consumer products cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually, and it urges anyone with information about an unsafe product to report it through SaferProducts.gov. Federal law also prohibits the sale of any product subject to a CPSC-ordered or voluntary recall once it has been announced.
