Krell Recalls 4 Amplifiers
The four amplifiers have fuses that may be causing the units to overheat.
Krell KAV-500i
Krell Industries has issued a recall for four amplifiers: the KAV-250a, KAV-250a/3, KAV-500i and KAV-1500.
The recall effects models made between Jan. 1997 and Feb. 2001. The amplifiers, which were designed to operate at temperatures warm to the touch, may have fuse values that could cause the units to overheat.
Krell says the recall consists of replacing two rail fuses for each amplifier channel. Krell will supply and install the new fuses.
Krell says a certificate of fuse replacement must be noted upon successful replacement of the fuses. Upon verification Krell will issue a $100 check to the person responsible for the fuse replacement.
