The product, in the report: Air Exchanger on recall
This consumer is reporting her air exchanger that is recalled with release# 15-025.
The caller received a part approximately one year ago that came from Venmar advising her to plug the air exchanger plug into it and then plug into the outlet to avoid overheating.
March 18th, 2016 she smelled an odor of electrical fire, smoke began coming through her vent but when she tried to locate the source but could not and so she called the fire department thinking that the unit next to and connected to her home was on fire.
The fire department found the source as being the air exchanger.
The temperature of the interior of are exchanger was read by the fire department at well over 500 degrees. The unit was melting in the interior.
March 18th, 2016 the caller contacted the manufacturer in Canada, she spoke with [REDACTED] who advised her that the plug sent was supposed to cut the power off in the event of overheating. She advised him that it did not and that it was still plugged in when the fire department arrived.
She is reporting this incident because there are somewhere around 19 or 20 other twin/adjoining homes in her area with the same air exchangers.
She states that she was not notified of a recall when receiving the part nor was she notified with the mailing that there was a recall or that a technician would come to her home to inspect and repair.
