Product
PTEE and PTHE Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs) | The recall includes 208-, 230- and 265-volt models of the Trane PTEE and PTHE Series Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs). They were manufactured from about March 2006 through July 2006. The date code is F06C through F06G, and is written on the unit's Manufacturer's Data Plate located behind the molded plastic cover above the power connection. The units have the following model numbers, also written on the Manufacturer's Data Plate: PTEE0701UAA PTEE1501UAA PTHE0902UAA PTEE0702UAA PTEE1502UAA PTHE1201UAA PTEE0901UAA PTHE0701UAA PTHE1202UAA PTEE0902UAA PTHE0702UAA PTHE1501UAA PTEE1201UAA PTHE0901UAA PTHE1502UAA PTEE1202UAA
Reason
The heating element on these commercially installed units can become displaced and, if it contacts metal, could short circuit. If the electric heater on one of those units short-circuits, wiring problems on 265-volt models could allow the unit to remain energized while the unit's fan is turned off, causing it to overheat and smoke.
