Bard 8605-018BX - Wraparound Crankcase Heater

The Bard 8605-018BX crankcase heater is an OEM wraparound heater designed to keep compressor oil warm during off cycles on compatible Bard wall mounted air conditioners and heat pumps, helping reduce refrigerant migration into the crankcase and supporting smoother starts after long off periods or cold weather operation. This factory specified heater band installs around the compressor body and is commonly used where low ambient conditions, long compressor off times, or repeated nuisance trips point to oil dilution or hard starting concerns. Verify the required voltage and fit by matching the full part number 8605-018BX to your unit model and compressor style before ordering.

What does the "BX" suffix mean?

Bard uses suffixes like "BX" to manage parts internally. These do not change the physical form or function of the part.

A part number ending in "BX" simply means it is packaged in a box for shipping, rather than for internal assembly use.

Example: 8406-142BX is physically identical to 8406-142.
