What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Ventilation Fans in ClassMate® DX Cooling and Air Source Heat Pumps and SchoolMate® Water/Ground Source Heat Pumps?
Ventilation Fans in ClassMate® DX Cooling and Air Source Heat Pumps and SchoolMate® Water/Ground Source Heat Pumps (Modine Manufacturing Company, of Racine, Wisconsin) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The ventilation fan motor in the heat pumps can short circuit if water gets on the circuit board, causing the units to overheat and posing a fire hazard. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled heat pumps immediately and contact Modine Manufacturing Company for written instructions to unplug the recalled ventilation fan or to switch the internal disconnect in the fan to the "off" position. Consumers should contact their Modine distributor to arrange for their free inspection and service. Service technicians will inspect and repair or replace the recalled heating and cooling OA/EA ventilation fans in all units. Sold at: Independent dealers nationwide from August 2013 through January 2026 for between $15,000 and $25,000. The ventilation fans are also sold separately through independent dealers for between $250 and $450.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 6,061 (In addition, about 735 were sold in Canada) units of Ventilation Fans in ClassMate® DX Cooling and Air Source Heat Pumps and SchoolMate® Water/Ground Source Heat Pumps are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
