4 Amana through-wall air conditioner and heat-pump models are under a joint Canada-US recall for a fire hazard. Check the model label on the front edge of the unit’s base pan. If its prefix matches the recall, stop using the unit and contact Daikin Comfort Technologies for the remedy.
Key takeaways
- The recall covers four Amana through-wall air conditioner and heat-pump models.
- The listed units were sold from April 2025 through June 2026.
- Health Canada reports 126 units sold in Canada and 4,633 sold in the United States.
- A matching model needs the manufacturer’s recall process, not a homeowner repair.
The recall covers four model prefixes
Health Canada’s September 3 recall notice identifies a snubber circuit that can emit flames if it shorts. The notice covers the models below. The model number sits on a white sticker at the front edge of the base pan, under the front of the unit.
| Model prefix | Unit type | Action |
|---|---|---|
| PBC092J00AA | Air conditioner | Stop using it and contact Daikin |
| PBC122J00AA | Air conditioner | Stop using it and contact Daikin |
| PBC123J00AA | Air conditioner | Stop using it and contact Daikin |
| PBH092J12AA | Heat pump | Stop using it and contact Daikin |
Stop using a matching unit before arranging service
Health Canada says consumers should stop using a matching unit and contact Daikin to request a full refund. The agency reported no incidents or injuries in Canada as of September 1. It reported two U.S. control-board short reports and no injuries.
Do not open the electrical cabinet or remove a through-wall unit unless you have the training to do the work safely. A through-wall unit can involve a heavy chassis, a sleeve, electrical connections, and a wall opening. An HVAC professional can help a homeowner identify the unit, disconnect it safely where appropriate, and plan replacement work after the recall process.
The agency’s guidance also matters for landlords and property managers. Record the model and serial number, notify occupants, and keep the unit out of service while you follow the recall instructions. A photo of the label can help the manufacturer confirm the product.
A recall check fits into seasonal HVAC planning
This notice applies to specific Amana models, not every wall air conditioner or heat pump. Homeowners with another model can still use the season change to inspect the plug, cord, grille, filter, and visible condition. A technician can address performance or installation concerns during an AC repair visit or HVAC service appointment.
Check public recall notices before buying a used appliance or passing an older unit to another household. The same habit helped readers review the September dresser recall notice before assembling furniture for a child’s room.
Homeowners: Post an HVAC job and compare offers from identity-verified pros. The app is free on iOS and Android.
Pros: Help clients document the label, keep a matching unit out of service, and separate recall guidance from any replacement quote.
The practical safety step
Find the model label before you use an Amana through-wall unit for fall heating or cooling. A matching prefix calls for the recall process. A professional can help with safe identification and replacement planning, but the manufacturer should handle the recall remedy.
