Venmar Ventilation recalls air exchangers from 2002-2009 with overheating motor risk. Consumers must stop using and get free repair inspection.
The motor in the air exchangers can overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
Venmar Ventilation is recalling air exchangers that can overheat and cause fires. These units were sold from 2002 to 2009 and need immediate stop-use and repair.
The motor in these air exchangers can overheat, which may lead to fire. This happens because the motor is not designed to handle the heat generated during normal operation, especially in older models.
Homeowners with Venmar air exchangers purchased between January 2002 and July 2009 are affected. Those using the units without heat recovery are at higher risk due to the motor overheating hazard.
Look for blue or grey painted metal units. Models with heat recovery were made from 2002-2008 and have silver/black labels; models without heat recovery were made from 2002-2009 and have model numbers on rating plates or unit sides.
Immediately turn off and stop using your air exchanger to prevent fire risk.
