York 025-32938-000 Crankcase Heater

The York 025-32938-000 Crankcase Heater is a critical industrial-grade component engineered to maintain optimal lubricant viscosity in high-capacity refrigeration and HVAC systems. Operating at 120V with a robust 350W output, this York OEM replacement part is specifically designed for compressor crankcase heating to prevent damaging refrigerant migration and oil dilution during the off-cycle. Built with durable stainless steel construction, this 350 watt crankcase heater ensures reliable thermal transfer to the compressor oil, facilitating smooth cold-weather start-ups and reducing mechanical wear. As a verified York HVAC part, it offers seamless integration and is frequently utilized in conjunction with manufacturer model 364-50822-100. This heater is essential for technicians managing industrial chillers and packaged rooftop units where maintaining the integrity of the oil charge is paramount for long-term compressor reliability.

• Prevents Refrigerant Migration: Actively maintains oil temperature above the refrigerant saturation point to keep liquid refrigerant out of the compressor shells.
• OEM Compatibility: Precision-matched for York equipment, specifically designed for use with manufacturer model number 364-50822-100.
• Industrial Durability: Features a stainless steel sheath for superior corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding mechanical environments.
• High-Output Performance: Delivers 350W of consistent heating power to handle large oil sumps and heavy-duty industrial compressors.

Is the York 025-32938-000 compatible with residential heat pumps?

This component is an industrial 350W heater typically sized for large-scale commercial chillers or rooftop units (Applied) and is generally not suited for standard residential split systems.

How do I test the 025-32938-000 for proper operation?

Technicians should verify the 120V power supply at the leads and measure the resistance (ohms) of the heating element; any open circuit or significant deviation from calculated resistance indicates a failed unit.

Does this heater require a thermostat for operation?

In most York configurations, this heater is interlocked with the compressor contactor to remain active during the off-cycle and is not typically modulated by a separate thermostat.
