Certain models of Amana brand Through-the-Wall air conditioners and heat pumps are being recalled due to a risk of fire and burn injuries.

Affected units do not comply with the electrical requirements in the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standard, a June 25 Health Canada news release says.

“The heating element may be energized any time the unit is plugged in, regardless of the mode of the unit, and a ground fault in the equipment’s electric heater may pose a burn or fire hazard,” it says.

The four recalled Through-the-Wall models in Canada—two air conditioner models and two heat pump models—are white and have the brand name, Amana, printed on most of the units’ control covers, the recall says.

The Amana brand is owned by Japan’s Daikin Industries through its subsidiary Goodman Manufacturing. Amana-branded air conditioners sold in the United States and Canada are manufactured in India and imported by Daikin’s Texas facilities, Daikin Comfort Technologies.

Amana says it has not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada related to the recall as of March 27. In the United States, the company has received one report of plastic on the product melting but no reports of injuries, the recall notice says.

Health Canada, which has issued the recall jointly with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Daikin Comfort Technologies, says consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and ensure they remain unplugged.

More than 13,500 Amana air conditioners and heat pumps are being recalled, 53 of which were sold in Canada and 7,030 were sold in the United States. Amana is offering a refund to customers who have purchased the affected units.

Consumers will be required to provide their contact information, cut the product’s cord, and then upload a photo of the product’s serial number and cut cord in order to receive a full refund of the unit, says a dedicated recall website.

In the United States, the recall covers a larger number of affected products including window-room-air conditioner (WRAC) units in addition to the through-the-wall AC and heat pump products.

All of the affected units were sold through direct sales and heating and cooling dealers between April and December 2025, the company says. Affected units sold in Canada all have model numbers that start with “PBE” or “PBH.”

“The units are used to provide room climate control. They most often are installed at hotels, apartment buildings, and commercial spaces,” the company said.
