Invensys Recalls TS11 Thermal Safety Control Valves Due to Fire Risk

Invensys is recalling 18,200 TS11 Thermal Safety Control Valves installed in commercial cooking equipment because a machining defect may cause gas leaks and fires.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (fire hazard from gas leak) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Invensys Climate Controls is recalling approximately 18,200 TS11 Thermal Safety Control Valves. These valves were manufactured between June 2001 and August 2001 and have production date codes ranging from 0124 through 0131. The date codes are located on the backside of the upper housing, below the red button.

The recall is due to a potential machining defect in the lower body of the valve, which may create a thin wall on the bottom of the casting. This area may break through partially or completely when rapped, causing an external gas leak. The leaking gas may cause a fire. No injuries have been reported.

The affected valves are installed in commercial ovens, ranges, and warmer trays by OEM manufacturers and service organizations. Consumers who have one of these valves should return it to the point of purchase or to Invensys. For further information, contact Janet Schantz at (800) 232-9389 Ext. 2553, Monday through Friday, between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm PT.
