Dirty filters should be cleaned or replaced! The serial number is a series of 10 numerals, while the model number is a series of 11 or 12 digits that begin with the letters “PT.” Goodman strongly recommends that you use this opportunity to check the PTAC filter and ensure that it is clean and unobstructed by debris. To determine the model and serial numbers of your PTAC units, just lift off the front cover as indicated in the owner’s manual to access the control panel, where these numbers are clearly indicated. If you do not have a record of the model and serial numbers of the PTAC units at your facility, it will be necessary to determine this information by looking at each unit. This CAP only applies to Amana, Trane, and American Standard brand PTAC units that were manufactured during the noted time period that contain 3.5 kilowatt (“kW”) and greater heaters. If you have not cleaned them within the previous 30 days, you should clean all PTAC filters immediately. To minimize this risk, PTAC filters should be cleaned or replaced every 30 days. This could result in a fire hazard if the blower wheel then becomes obstructed or otherwise stops turning. Goodman has discovered that severely restricted airflow conditions, as may occur if the PTAC filter is not cleaned or the unit is obstructed by furniture, may eventually cause the safety limit switches installed at the time of manufacture to wear out if the restricted airflow condition is allowed to persist.
