Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant


On September 30, 2005, Fedders Corporation (the "Company") announced that its
engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as its independent registered
public accounting firm had ended. As previously disclosed on the Company's
Form 8-K dated April 20, 2005, Deloitte informed the Company on April 14, 2005
that it would not stand for reappointment as the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2005 or for
any of the quarterly reporting periods therein. Deloitte continued to be
engaged by the Company after such notification until September 30, 2005 to
audit the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for the
transition period from September 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, and the
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, and to
audit management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting and the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.

The audit reports of Deloitte, which include two explanatory paragraphs for
2004, on the financial statements and financial statement schedule of the
Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, for the year ended December 31,
2004, for the transition period from September 1, 2003 through December 31,
2003, and for each of the two fiscal years in the period ended August 31,
2003, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, except for an explanatory paragraph relating to a change in method
of accounting for goodwill and intangible assets discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements. Deloitte disclaimed an opinion on management's process
of evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and issued an adverse opinion with
respect to the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004.

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, for the year ended December 31, 2004, for the
transition period from September 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, and for
each of the two fiscal years in the period ended August 31, 2003, there were no
disagreements between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement(s) in connection with its report on the consolidated financial
statements for such periods.

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, for the year ended December 31, 2004, for the
transition period from September 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, and for
each of the two fiscal years in the period ended August 31, 2003, and the
subsequent period from January 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005, there were
no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K other than certain material weaknesses relating to the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed on September 30, 2005. The Company has authorized
Deloitte to respond fully to the inquires of the successor independent
registered public accounting firm.

The Company is in the process of securing the audit services of new independent
registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2005 and the
quarterly reporting periods therein and will file the required Current Report
on Form 8-K concurrent with that event. The appointment of new independent
registered public accountants will be placed in the Proxy for ratification by
the Company's shareholders at the Company's next Annual Meeting.

The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to Deloitte prior to
the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that
Deloitte furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this Item
4.01. A copy of the letter furnished in response to that request (as required
by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K) dated October 6, 2005, is filed as
Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
