Description
The Nordyne 632677 is a 240-volt crankcase heater engineered as a direct OEM replacement for compatible Nordyne HVAC systems. Crankcase heaters play a critical role in compressor protection by warming the compressor oil sump during off cycles, preventing refrigerant from migrating into and diluting the lubricating oil. This refrigerant migration, if left unchecked, can cause compressor damage on startup — particularly in colder ambient conditions.
Why Crankcase Heaters Matter
During extended off periods, refrigerant can condense and accumulate in the compressor crankcase. When the system starts, this refrigerant-oil mixture can cause slugging, oil foaming, and accelerated wear on compressor components. Installing and maintaining a properly functioning crankcase heater is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend compressor life and reduce service callbacks.
