Why Crankcase Heaters Matter
During extended off-cycles, refrigerant can migrate into the compressor crankcase and mix with the lubricating oil. When the compressor starts, this diluted oil can cause inadequate lubrication, leading to premature wear or compressor failure. A properly functioning crankcase heater eliminates this risk by keeping the oil warm and refrigerant-free.
