Carrier Air Conditioner Recall

Oct 18, 2019

Product Safety Australia (PSA) has issued a recall coving eleven models of Carrier Ductless Hi-Wall and Cassette split system reverse cycle air conditioners. The recall, which was released 9 October 2019, was prompted by a defect in the outdoor condensing unit. These air conditioning units were sold in Australia from 1 November 2013 to 30 June 2019 through authorised Carrier dealers.

The PSA recall states:

"If the fan motor in the outdoor condensing unit fails, a fire could result, which could cause property damage and/or personal injury."

Recalled Carrier models

The fan motor in the outdoor unit of the following models may fail.

Recalled Carrier air conditioner model numbers:

38SHV052P1 - 5.0kW cool / 5.7kW heat
38TSV067P1 - 6.7kW cool / 8.0kW heat
38QHF080 - 8.0kW cool / 9.0kW heat
38SHV071P1 - 7.1kW cool / 8.4kW heat
38SHV087P1 - 8.7kW cool / 8.9kW heat
38SHV105P1 - 10.5kW cool / 11.2kW heat
38TSV080P1 - 7.6kW cool / 9.2kW heat
38TSV110P1 - 10.5kW cool / 12.3kW heat
38TSV130P1 - 12.5kW cool / 13.0kW heat
38SHV135P1 - 13.5kW cool / 16.0kW heat
38SHV165P1 - 16.5kW cool / 17.0kW heat

Not sure if your model is affected by the recall? The model number can be found on the sticker located on the outdoor unit.

What to do if you have one of these Carrier units?

The PSA recommends that you stop using the air conditioner until repairs have been done. Carrier and its local agents will be contacting those who have purchased the recalled units to arrange repairs.

Alternatively, consumers can contact Carrier at 1800 959 554.

More information on the Carrier recall can be found:

carrierrework.com.au
productsafety.gov.au

If you are having any other problems with your Carrier air conditioner or just need a service contact our experienced air con technicians today on 1300 762 260.

Electrical Safety Office Plumbing Business Audits

Sep 03, 2019

A recent bulletin from WorkSafe QLD stated that electrical safety inspectors from the Electrical Safety Office would be auditing plumbers who perform electrical work as part of their services.

The ESO audit process is carried out to ensure that all electrical contractors, including plumbers carrying out electrical work under their Queensland Building and Construction Commission trade contractor licence, are:

correctly licenced
carrying out work safely
testing all work they carry out to make sure it is safe

Audits will also review processes and requirements including:

requirements for energised electrical work
isolation
lock out procedures
work documentation
record keeping

WorkSafe QLD states that failure to meet the required electrical safety standards and procedures can result in statutory notices being issued.

To identify commonly occurring problems the results of the audit process are shared with industry bodies such as the Master Plumbers Association of Queensland.

Read the full article - worksafe.qld.gov.au

The electrical safety obligations for plumbers carrying out hot water system electrical work include:
