Amana-Goodman 0163R00002S Heater
Protect your heating system with the genuine Amana-Goodman 0163R00002S Heater, a high-performance 230v 40w Belt CrankCase Heater engineered for precision and durability. This essential HVAC component functions as a compressor heater band, wrapping securely around the compressor to maintain optimal oil temperature during the off-cycle. By utilizing electric resistance heating, it effectively prevents refrigerant migration and oil dilution, which are leading causes of premature compressor failure. This OEM replacement part is specifically designed for Goodman and Amana heat pumps and air conditioning units, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation in cold climates. Its 40-watt output provides the necessary warmth to keep lubricants at the correct viscosity, facilitating smooth startups and reducing mechanical strain on internal components. Investing in this crankcase heater belt is a proactive step toward maintaining system efficiency and avoiding costly repairs caused by liquid slugging during initial system activation.
Key Benefits- Prevents Liquid Slugging: Maintains heat in the crankcase to ensure refrigerant remains in a vapor state, protecting the compressor during startup.
- Preserves Lubrication Quality: Keeps compressor oil at the ideal temperature to prevent dilution, ensuring moving parts remain properly lubricated.
- OEM Compatibility: Designed specifically for Amana and Goodman systems, including GSZ14 and other high-efficiency series.
- Easy Installation: The flexible belt design allows for a secure, wrap-around fit for most standard compressor shells.
- Why is my compressor making a loud noise on startup? This is often caused by liquid refrigerant in the crankcase; an active 0163R00002S heater prevents this by keeping the oil warm.
- Does this heater run while the AC is on? No, these heaters are typically wired to operate only when the compressor is in the "off" cycle to prevent migration.
- Can I use this on a 115v system? No, this is a 230v component. Using it with incorrect voltage will result in poor performance or part failure.
