Updated August 20, 2026
Modine Manufacturing is recalling ventilation fans inside Airedale ClassMate and SchoolMate heat pumps used in schools and classrooms. If water reaches the fan's circuit board, the motor can short circuit, causing the unit to overheat and potentially catch fire.

What is recalled
Ventilation fans built into Airedale-branded ClassMate DX Cooling and Air Source Heat Pumps and SchoolMate Water/Ground Source Heat Pumps. Affected models are identified by the ventilation configuration digit (digit 9) in the model number: CMD (digit 9: C, D, or E), CMP (digit 9: C, D, or E), SMG (digit 9: H, J, K, N, or P), SMW (digit 9: H, J, K, N, or P), and CMS (digit 9: H, J, K, N, or P). The Airedale brand name appears on a sticker on the front of the unit. The model name and serial number are on the serial plate on the underside of the control unit.
