Weil-McLain Recalls Gas Boilers Due to Carbon Monoxide Risk

Plain-English summary

Weil-McLain is recalling 8,500 Weil-McLain Gold GV gas boilers in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall addresses a defect in the gas control valves, which were manufactured by White-Rodgers. These valves may have gas pressure settings that are too high, causing the boilers to produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide that can leak into living spaces.

The affected boilers are equipped with specific White-Rodgers model 36C98-303 gas control valves with date codes ranging from 9621 through 9723. Additionally, all Weil-McLain GV boilers installed at elevations above 7,000 feet are included in this recall. Weil-McLain has received three reports of carbon monoxide detectors alarming due to releases from these units, though no injuries or deaths have been reported.

Consumers should immediately check if they have an affected boiler by locating the gas control valve at the front and center section of the unit under the jacket to verify the model and date code. If the boiler is affected, consumers should call Weil-McLain at (219) 879-6561 to arrange for a free adjustment of the gas control valve's pressure setting.
