White-Rodgers Recalls Home Heating and Cooling Thermostats Due to Fire Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The programmable thermostats constantly charge the backup AA batteries used to power the thermostat's clock. This can cause the batteries to leak, resulting in a fire hazard.
What to do
Consumers should immediately remove the two AA batteries from the thermostat and contact White-Rodgers for a free repair kit. If battery removal causes changes in furnace operation, contact White-Rodgers.
