Description
The Trane HTR3384 is a genuine OEM compressor crankcase heater engineered to protect your HVAC system’s compressor by keeping the oil warm during off‑cycles. This prevents refrigerant from migrating into the compressor oil and causing dilution or slugging — issues that can lead to premature compressor failure, especially in colder ambient conditions.
