Hazard
The heating element on these commercially installed units can become displaced and, if it contacts metal, could short circuit. If the electric heater on one of those units short-circuits, wiring problems on 265-volt models could allow the unit to remain energized while the unit's fan is turned off, causing it to overheat and smoke.
What owners should do
The power connectors are being rewired or replaced, and the heaters will be visually inspected and replaced as necessary in the 265-volt models. Although there have been no incidents with the 208-volt and 230-volt models, Trane is still inspecting these units as a precaution. Trane has contacted the affected customers directly.
