On the brink of a brutal Fourth of July weekend, the warning came with a second, quieter urgency: thousands of air conditioners in use across the country have been pulled from circulation over a potential fire and burn risk.
Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing issued a recall on June 25 for 13,514 Amana air conditioning units and heating pumps. The concern is mechanical but the risk is urgent: the devices’ heating elements can remain energized even when the units are turned off, creating a fire or burn hazard.
As of June 25, no injuries had been reported related to the recalled products. Daikin said it was aware of one report of a unit’s plastic melting.
The timing landed just as the long, dangerous heatwave began intensifying through much of the central and eastern United States. Weather.com warned that roughly two-thirds of the U.S. population could be exposed to extreme heat this week and urged people to stay hydrated. with the worst stretch expected to include the Fourth of July weekend.
The recall affects select Amana Window-Room-Air Conditioning and Through-the-Wall air conditioning units or heat pumps. The units are white, and the brand name is printed on most units’ control covers. Model numbers are located on the front edge of the units’ base plate via a white sticker.
The products are commonly found in apartment buildings, commercial spaces, and hotels—places where cooling can’t simply be paused, even for a refund process.
Each of the recalled models is identified in the recall report:
Through the Wall (TTW):
PBH113J35AA (heat pump)
PBH093J35AA (heat pump)
PBH073J35AA (heat pump)

PBE093J35AA (air conditioner)

AH093J35AA (heat pump)
AE183J35AA (air conditioner)

AE093J35AA (air conditioner)
Daikin says the units were sold through direct sales and heating and cooling dealers nationwide between April 2025 and December 2025 for $850 to $1,500. Of the 13,514 recalled units, 53 were sold in Canada.
Daikin’s instructions are blunt: stop using the recalled AC unit immediately. Consumers are told to contact Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing at 855-812-8989 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, for a full refund, or to visit amana-ptac.com/amana-ttw-wrac-recall.
For the refund process, consumers will be asked to submit a photo of the unit’s power cord after it has been cut, along with a photo of the unit’s serial number.
The sequence—recall details released on June 25, then extreme heat ramping across the central and eastern U.S. heading into the Fourth of July—puts a familiar pressure on households and businesses: cooling systems must work. and they must work safely. With heating elements potentially remaining energized even after the units are turned off. the practical question becomes immediate for anyone affected—how quickly a replacement can be secured before the temperatures peak.
