ADP to Repair Unit Heaters
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Some heaters were manufactured without a required flame rollout switch, which is a back-up device that shuts down the heater in the event of a heater failure. This poses a fire hazard.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
What it looks like
