Expanded Recall: Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing Expands Recall of Evaporator Coil Drain Pans to Include Those Installed with Non-Condensing Gas Furnaces due to Fire Hazard

This recall expansion involves the previously-announced recall involving evaporator coil drain pans paired with residential condensing gas furnaces that are installed in a vertical, or “up-flow” coil configuration. The expanded recall also includes certain competitor residential non-condensing gas furnaces (brands other than Goodman, Daikin, and Amana), also installed in an up-flow coil configuration. As shown in the table below, furnaces that were installed or repaired with a new evaporator coil drain pan between January 2019 and November 2021 are affected by this recall. Whether a non-condensing furnace system falls within the scope of the expanded recall depends on the location of the burners, which, if unknown, can be verified through DCT’s model verification tool at: https://www.recallrtr.com/drainpan.

The evaporator coil, which sits atop the vertically installed furnace, will either be cased or uncased. The evaporator coil’s serial number is displayed on a label attached to both cased and uncased models. For cased evaporator coils, the serial number is on the label attached to the coil case. For uncased units, the serial number is on a label attached to the front of the coil.

If you have an affected evaporator coil drain pan, it will be necessary to determine the brand and model number of your furnace. In most instances, the furnace brand and model number can be found on your furnace on the “Energy Guide” label.  For all other instances, please refer to the instructions on the model verification tool at: www.recallrtr.com/drainpan.

The model number of the outdoor condenser in your system may also be required in order to provide the correct repair kit. The model number can be found on a label attached to the outdoor condenser.
