Amana Through-the-Wall Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Recalled Due to Fire Risk
Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing is recalling about 4,633 Amana through-the-wall air conditioners and heat pumps, according to a recall notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) dated September 3, 2026. The recall was initiated because the snubber circuit can emit flames if it shorts, posing a risk of serious injury from fire. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled units include model numbers PBC092J00AA, PBC093J00AA, PBC122J00AA, PBC123J00AA, and PBH092J12AA. They were sold through direct sales and distribution customers nationwide from April 2025 through June 2026.
Consumers are told to stop using the product immediately. They must provide contact information, cut the product's cord, and upload a photo of both the serial number and the cut cord. The recall number is 26734.
The CPSC database records no other enforcement action by this firm.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
