    Water Heater Control Recalled After Fires

    POSTED: 5:30 pm EDT August 15, 2005

    CONCORD, N.H. -- A water heater made by the White-Rodgers Co. is being recalled after it was linked to five fires in New Hampshire and a carbon monoxide incident.

    The state Fire Marshal's Office announced the recall of certain White-Rodgers LP and Convertible gas water heater temperature controls.

    The temperature control is a small metal box located above the access panel door of the gas water heater. A white label with red lettering located on the right side of the control contains one of the following model numbers: 37C55U 658, 37C57U 602, 37C72U 520, 37C72U 546, 37C72U 547, or 37C72U 548, and 37C72U 676.

    There should be a four-digit metal stamped date code located below the label on the right side of the control. Recalled controls will have date codes 0240 to 0329 (40th week of 2002 to 29th week of 2003). Potentially affected gas water heaters include: AO Smith, Apollo, Crosley, Energysense, Freedom, Intertherm, Kenmore, Maytag, Mission, Myers, Penfield, President, Reliance, Sentry, or State.

    Serial numbers on the water heaters can be checked at www.regcen.com/tempcontrolrecall/.

    Anyone who has one of the controls can call (800) 426-3579 or call the water heater's installer for a replacement control.

    To the best of my knowledge this

    recall has been in affect for two years. I would imagine most of them should have been replaced by now. If not then these recalls really do not work.

    I know hwere in RI we took care of this back in early 2004.

    All of the Southern New England Propane companies were made aware as I passed it on to them. I also believe there was a post on Oiltech talk and on the Wall.

    If they are still around however then get them changed!!!
