No incident, no one hurt Made Dec 2, 2021, sent to the company Dec 6, 2021, published by CPSC Dec 20, 2021
The product, in the report: General Electric Air Conditioner The defective products were General Electric window air conditioning units, both Model #AHY24D2H1. Model # AHY24D2H1
I purchased a window unit air conditioner in 2019 for home use. Within a year of purchase, it began spewing a black substance from the vents into the room. There was also an odor in the air. Upon inspection of the unit, there was black mold on the inside of the vents. I reported this to the manufacturer, and they shipped a replacement window unit to my home, the same model as the original purchase. Again, within one year, mold developed on the inside of the vents. I again contacted the manufacturer, and they issued vouchers for me to purchase another model of their making. This unit, the third one, was installed on November 18, 2021, and I am hoping that the mold issue will not be repeated.

Hurt, no treatment Made Aug 20, 2020, sent to the company Oct 14, 2020, published by CPSC Oct 1, 2020
The product, in the report: General Electric (GE) 250-sq ft Window Air Conditioner Model No. Model AHD08LXW1
Window unit air conditioner has developed what appears to be mold on several internal parts including the fan blades. The window unit was purchased and installed in the bedroom window in summer 2018. In August 2020, my wife complained about waking up in the morning with congestion and swollen eyes. She said it had been happening for several weeks but recent got worse. Investigating the possible causes, she cleaned the filter on the window AC unit and found apparent mold. I removed a cover plate to access the fan area of the AC unit and saw that nearly every surface inside had black splotchy spots. Using a cotton swab, I was able to wipe a sample of the black substance from a fan blade. We are reasonably certain the black substance is mold. I disassembled the AC further with a plan to clean the contaminated surfaces, but I was not able to reach all of the internal surfaces that appeared to be contaminated with mold. We decided to remove the AC unit from the window, and bought a new one. Since replacing the AC unit, my wife has not experienced the congestion and swollen eyes in the mornings. I will perform a necropsy on the old unit in my garage to see if I can clean and reassemble it. The AC unit worked great at cooling the bedroom, but we don’t care for the exposure to mold allergens. This summer has been more humid than recent years. Mold is ubiquitous and should be expected in an AC unit where condensation occurs. My complaint was that there was no way to effectively clean or prevent mold growth in hard-to-reach parts of the unit.
