The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/14/2016) JOHNSON CONTROLS INC: York International Corp. (“York” or “Johnson Controls”) takes potential product safety issues very seriously. We are aware of our responsibilities under the Consumer Product Safety Act and routinely monitor consumer reports and other relevant information accordingly through saferproducts.gov. The product that is the subject of this report meets or exceeds the US Government and Industry Safety Standard requirements (i.e. ANSI Z21.47, CSA 2.3 or UL199S, CSA C22.2, etc.) as noted in our agency listings.
The consumer noted that he was informed by the manufacturer and also subsequently believes this particular model to be at risk if the heat shield falls out of place on his furnace and so he raised a concern with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The consumer is incorrect however, regarding the components and nature of the failure, as he had contacted York and previously discussed the concern in greater detail. The issue with the consumer’s equipment was not a heat shield falling onto the coils, but rather with the fiberglass insulation on the furnace casing falling onto his AC coil. In our prior discussion with the consumer, he noted that the insulation came loose and fell down on his 3rd party evaporator coil (part of his AC system) causing it to form refrigerant leaks. York has not seen this failure before regarding the refrigerant leaks and therefore advised the consumer that the insulation falling down on his evaporator coil was not the cause for the refrigerant leak(s) he experienced. Further, York noted that he should contact the 3rd party manufacturer to get his leaking coil issue addressed. This insulation on the furnace casing does allow the product to be rated with zero clearance to combustible material on the sides and if the insulation was not in place then combustible material in direct contact with the furnace casing may under certain circumstances overheat, char and possibly ignite. However this depends on a number of compounding circumstances such as the material types, heat level (i.e. proximity on the casing with respect to the heat exchanger), time or number of heating seasons the material is in contact to the casing and finally whether or not the furnace is installed and operating within design specifications. Being that the insulation that came loose in this case was closer to the coils than to the heat exchanger, the temperatures on the casing may be reduced. In any event, York authorized replacement of his furnace and the consumer also noted that the unit cabinet was replaced by Masters. Unfortunately the cause for the insulation becoming loose was not determined, but may have been related to the AC coil installation. Our insulation is affixed to the casing by a robust design. Finally, components that fail during the warranty period would be replaced in a manner similar to what this consumer described. Johnson Controls is committed to providing safe products to consumers and, therefore, encourages consumers with any concerns about our products to contact the customer relations call center, toll-free, at 877-874-7378.

The product, in the report: Coleman Furnace: White plastic front, grey cabinet, down flow, mobile home use.

Coleman Furnace, Model DGAH077BBSA. About a month ago my furnace failed to stay ignited. I traced the problem to a burnt off wire from flame sensor located inside heat ex-changer, attached to main burner. Wire had about 2 inches of insulation burned off and was detached from quick disconnect at flame sensor. I replaced quick disconnect and cut back burned section of yellow wire. Two weeks later, wire burnt again. I observed massive flame up through burner window when main blower kicked on. Further inspection of heat exchanger revealed about a six inch crack and about an inch whole in the heat exchanger. The crack and hole are pretty much in line with and opposite of main burner. Removed furnace from service on 11/26/13 pending repairs or replacement. This furnace was installed new through state/county weatherization program in June of 2001

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/23/2013) JOHNSON CONTROLS INC: York International Corp. (“York” or “Johnson Controls”) takes potential product safety issues very seriously. We are aware of our responsibilities under the Consumer Product Safety Act and routinely monitor consumer reports and other relevant information accordingly through saferproducts.gov. The product that is the subject of this report meets or exceeds the US Government and Industry Safety Standard requirements (i.e. ANSI Z21.47, CSA 2.3 or UL1995, CSA C22.2, etc.) as noted in our agency listings.
In the Incident Report, the consumer noted that the furnace failed to stay ignited. Based on the information provided, this appears consistent with the safety systems implemented in the furnace design. In this instance it appears that the flame sensor was sensing a disruption on the flame and de-energizing the gas valve after which it would cycle through a stabilization period and retry to ignite. After several of such disruptions, it would then shut down for an hour. After multiple shut down cycles, it would lock out until the underlying problem is corrected.
York is committed to providing safe products to consumers and therefore has contacted this consumer directly on their concern. York invites any consumer with a safety concern regarding one of its products, to contact York’s Consumer Relations call center toll free, at (877) 874-7378. This product model is also covered by a limited 10 year warranty on the heat exchanger. Warranty claims for the heat exchanger are handled by Stylecrest, the distributor of this product.
