Lg 6615JB2005H Defrost Sensor Assembly OEM Part

Replaced defrost sensor in freezer compartment, if you are handy this is a do it yourself job. The cover in the freezer section just pops out not tools needed. You will need a few small zip ties and some cutters to remove the old zip ties. Take a picture were the old sensor was before removing and reinstall in the same place. I used a meter to check continuity of the defrost element and found the element to be ok. I was quoted $85 to have someone come to the house just to check the unit and then the parts would be extra. This part cost approx. $12 and a few dollars for shipping.

I have had the unfortunate problem of fixing this previously, so knew what to order. I ordered the defrost sensor and heater... and replaced both. Honestly, all I needed was the sensor I did and ohm test and got 0 on it... meaning it was bad, but just in case I replaced the heater. The fridge works great now, but I would suggest if this is your first time with this issue, remove the panel, unplug both sensors from the fridge, and do and ohm test while they are still in the fridge... and then replace the defective component... which is most likely just the sensor.

I manually defrosted the evaporator coils, then replaced the defrost sensor. After reassembly, the fridge now works properly and no more trouble keeping codes.

Flawless… thanks to the outstanding video provided with the part, the repair was super easy when the unforeseen benefit was cleaning out the entire refrigerator/freezer. Amazing the things you didn't know existed! If anyone has do it yourself genetics, this is the place to shop. Thanks guys

Replaced ice maker fan - Did not fix the IR code. Replaced defrost sensor, Main Pcb assembly and capacitor because I would be in that area changing the Pcb. Everything works like new. The Main Pcb most likely fixed all problems but the defrost sensor and capacitor were cheap and I didn't want to take anything to chance. So far all is working again - $150 for repair parts vs $2500 for new refrigerator. ?? The Pcb and capacitor took 15 min to replace, easy access on back of refrigerator. The defrost sensor took about an hour because the freezer drawer and slides rails have to come off to get the back wall of freezer out.
