Plain-English summary

Goodman Company L.P. is recalling approximately 210,000 air handler units, including models AWUF and ACNF, due to an electrical shock hazard. The pull-out disconnects on these units may not disable power to the air handler, which poses a risk of electrical shock to individuals servicing the equipment. An additional 20 units were sold in Canada.

The recalled air handlers are most often installed in apartment and condominium units and are used with heating and cooling systems to provide climate control. The AWUF model units are wall mounted, while ACNF model units are ceiling mounted. The recalled air handlers have serial numbers beginning with 1511, 1512, or 1601 through 1610. The serial number is located on the label found by removing the wall panel (for AWUF units) or ceiling panel (for ACNF units).

Goodman has received reports involving six units at two locations where the air handlers remained powered when the disconnect handles were removed. No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately contact Goodman for a free inspection and free repair. Goodman is contacting all known commercial owners directly. Consumers can also contact Goodman toll-free at 888-386-2075 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.goodmanmfg.com.
