6615JB2005C Thermistor Defrost Sensor OEM Mania for LG Kenmore

Description

Product Overview

The 6615JB2005C thermistor defrost sensor from OEM Mania is engineered as an exact OEM replacement for the original components used in a range of LG and Kenmore refrigerator models. Constructed from high‑conductivity copper, the sensor delivers precise temperature readings of the evaporator coil, which is essential for initiating the defrost cycle at the correct moment. The assembly includes a built‑in fuse and a 4‑prong Molex plug, eliminating the need for separate wiring or additional components. Its compact dimensions (6.73 x 4.72 x 0.87 inches) and lightweight design (1.02 ounces) allow it to fit seamlessly into the existing sensor housing without modification.

Usage

This sensor is intended for residential and light‑commercial refrigeration units that employ a timed defrost system. It is ideal for homeowners looking to replace a failed sensor in their LG or Kenmore fridge, as well as for service technicians who need a reliable OEM part to restore proper defrost functionality. The sensor operates in the typical freezer temperature range of -10°C to 10°C (14°F to 50°F) and is compatible with models that report a “E4” error code for defrost faults. Installation requires disconnecting power, removing the old sensor, and plugging the new unit into the existing Molex connector, making the process quick and straightforward.

FAQ

What refrigerator models are compatible with the 6615JB2005C sensor?

The sensor is compatible with most LG and Kenmore models that originally used part numbers 6615JB2005A, AH3529338, EA3529338, or PS3529338. It also works on certain Bosch B21CL80SNS units that display an E4 defrost error.

Do I need any additional tools to install the sensor?

No special tools are required. The sensor comes with a pre‑wired 4‑prong Molex plug that connects directly to the existing harness. You only need a screwdriver to remove the old sensor and a safe work environment to disconnect power.

How does the integrated fuse protect my refrigerator?

The fuse is designed to blow in the event of a voltage surge, preventing damage to the refrigerator’s control board and other electronic components. This adds an extra layer of safety compared to generic sensors that lack built‑in protection.

Can I use this sensor as a replacement for other brands?

While the sensor is optimized for LG and Kenmore models, it may be compatible with other brands that share the same part specifications. Always verify the part number and connector type before purchasing a cross‑brand replacement.

What is the expected lifespan of the sensor?

When installed correctly and operated within the specified temperature range, the copper‑based sensor typically lasts the lifetime of the refrigerator, often exceeding 5‑7 years of continuous use.
