Carlin has received a report of a burner failing to turn off because of a wiring malfunction. Therefore, 110 Williamson-Thermoflo furnaces and boilers equipped with Carlin oil burners are being recalled because they pose a fire hazard.
The recalled units were manufactured in Connecticut and sold by heating and plumbing contractors nationwide from April 2015 through November 2015 for about $500 for the burners. The recall includes Williamson and Thermoflo furnaces and boilers with Carlin oil burners with an installation date label between April 1, 2015 and November 31, 2015. The installation date is printed on a label on the outside of the furnace or boiler. Recalled furnaces have a Carlin burner inside of the furnace, behind the furnace grate. Recalled boilers have a Carlin burner attached to the outside of the boiler enclosure. “Carlin” is printed in white letters on the face of the burner nameplate.
Consumers should immediately contact Carlin to arrange for a free repair. Consumers who cannot locate their installation date label can also contact Carlin. Carlin is contacting installers directly to make repairs on furnaces that were installed in consumer’s homes.
