Description
The York 025-45539-000 is a 120-Volt, 90-Watt crankcase heater engineered to protect compressor integrity in York HVAC systems. By maintaining oil temperature during off-cycles, this heater prevents refrigerant from migrating into the compressor crankcase — a leading cause of premature compressor failure, oil dilution, and slugging on startup.
Why Crankcase Heaters Matter
During compressor shutdown, refrigerant can dissolve into the crankcase oil, reducing lubrication effectiveness and causing liquid slugging when the unit restarts. Installing or replacing a crankcase heater is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend compressor life, reduce service calls, and protect system reliability — especially in low-ambient or seasonal-use applications.
