Carrier 06EA660167 Crankcase Heater
The Carrier 06EA660167 Crankcase Heater is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-performance compressor protection in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This insertion type crankcase heater operates at 115V and delivers 180W of consistent thermal energy to the compressor oil reservoir. By maintaining a temperature higher than the coldest part of the system, it effectively prevents liquid refrigerant migration into the crankcase during off-cycles. This is essential for preventing "slugging" and ensuring the compressor lubrication remains at the proper viscosity for startup. This unit features a 52-inch insertion length and 73-inch leads, providing ample reach for various 06E compressor configurations. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for legacy part numbers HT36FL379, HT36DM134, and 06EA660165, ensuring field compatibility without the need for mounting modifications.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Prevents Dilution: Keeps refrigerant out of the oil to maintain pumpability and protect internal bearings.
- Exact OEM Fit: Eliminates guesswork during installation with precise factory specifications for the 06E compressor series.
- Superior Lead Reach: The 73" lead length allows for clean wire routing to the control box or contactor.
- Standard Power Requirements: Operates on 115V/60Hz, making it compatible with standard residential power taps.
- Proven Durability: CSA listed and manufactured as a Factory Authorized Part for reliable thermal cycling.
Is the Carrier 06EA660167 compatible with other compressor brands?
While it may fit other units with similar bored wells, it is specifically designed and verified for Carrier 06E compressors and their associated OEM replacement part numbers.
What happens if the crankcase heater fails in cold weather?
Failure to maintain oil temperature leads to refrigerant condensing in the oil. Upon startup, this causes foaming and poor lubrication, which can lead to mechanical compressor failure. Periodic resistance checks on the heater leads are recommended during maintenance visits.
How do I verify if this 115V heater is the correct voltage for my unit?
Always check the equipment wiring diagram. While many 06E compressors use 208/230V heaters, the 06EA660167 is specifically a 115V component and should only be wired to a matching power source to avoid component burnout or underperformance.
