Description
International Comfort Products Crankcase Heater — SKU 17402001000603
The International Comfort Products 17402001000603 is a genuine OEM crankcase heater designed to protect the compressor in compatible ICP HVAC systems. Crankcase heaters are a critical component in refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, preventing refrigerant from migrating into the compressor oil during off cycles — a leading cause of compressor damage and premature failure.
Why Crankcase Heaters Matter
During periods of system inactivity, refrigerant can dissolve into the compressor oil and settle in the crankcase. When the compressor starts, this refrigerant-oil mixture can cause slugging, oil foaming, and bearing wear. A properly functioning crankcase heater keeps the compressor oil warm, ensuring refrigerant stays in the vapor state and the compressor starts cleanly every time.
