GE issued a product recall in the United States last week on its Zoneline air conditioning and heating units due to a potential fire risk.
The problem can occur when moisture from air outside can gather near the unit's heater if it is used with vent door left open all the time. The problem happens when two other 'shorted electrical components' can arc through an electrical ground path, which creates the fire risk. There are around 33,500 units involved in the recall.
GE is offering a free repair and says that users should not use the unit with the external vent open until the repair is completed. GE recommends that customers take of thee unit's front panel, locate the Zoneline unit's vent door control lever on the left side and move it to the closed position.
