International Comfort Products 17402001000601 Crankcase Heater for HVAC Compressors

The International Comfort Products 17402001000601 is a genuine OEM crankcase heater designed to protect compressors in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Crankcase heaters are essential components that warm the compressor's oil sump during off-cycles, preventing refrigerant migration and oil dilution — two leading causes of premature compressor failure.

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM replacement part from International Comfort Products (ICP)
• Designed to maintain compressor oil temperature during system shutdown
• Prevents refrigerant from mixing with compressor oil during cold ambient conditions
• Helps ensure reliable startup and extends compressor service life
• Direct-fit replacement for compatible ICP, Heil, Tempstar, Arcoaire, and related brand systems

Crankcase heaters are particularly important in heat pump applications and in climates where ambient temperatures drop significantly. Installing or replacing a failed crankcase heater is a simple, cost-effective step that protects one of the most expensive components in your HVAC system — the compressor.
