Description
The Trane CNT5482 Defrost Control is a genuine OEM defrost control module designed for heat pump systems. It manages the defrost cycle by monitoring sensor inputs and initiating defrost when frost buildup is detected on the outdoor coil — helping your heat pump maintain efficient heating performance and balanced airflow in cold weather conditions. This control board is essential for preventing frost accumulation that can reduce system efficiency and lead to performance issues when outdoor temperatures drop.
