Fridge Bimetal 3 Wire 2 Clip

Description

3-Wire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat & Thermal Fuse Assembly (Dual-Plug Type) Product Description Ensure your frost-free refrigerator runs a safe and efficient defrost cycle with this 3-wire defrost thermostat and thermal fuse assembly. Designed as an integrated safety component, this unit features a bimetal temperature sensor and a backup safety thermal fuse encased together in a heavy-duty, moisture-sealed vinyl pouch to completely isolate the electrical components from the damp, freezing environment of your evaporator coils. This assembly utilizes a specialized 3-wire harness split into two distinct molded plastic connectors (a 2-pin plug and a single-pin plug) for seamless, error-free wiring into the refrigerator’s main harness. The bimetal switch automatically closes to activate the defrost heater when frost accumulation drops coil temperatures, and snaps open when the frost has melted. If a system malfunction causes the heater to stay on dangerously long, the built-in 72°C inline thermal fuse acts as a permanent fail-safe to cut power before any internal plastic linings melt. Key Features Dual-Plug Wiring Harness: Pre-terminated with one 2-pin connector and one 1-pin connector, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing, or heat-shrinking wires. Integrated 2-in-1 Protection: Combines standard temperature monitoring with a critical 72°C high-limit thermal safety cutout in a single pouch. Hermetically Sealed Casing: Form-fitted vinyl pouch prevents melted frost water from penetrating the internal contacts, preventing premature short circuits. Compatible Mechanisms & Appliance Brands This specific 3-wire, dual-plug style component is a highly common replacement setup engineered primarily for Asian-designed defrost circuits and mechanical timing loops. It is widely compatible with: LG Electronics: A direct replacement for a massive variety of LG frost-free double-door and side-by-side refrigerators. It matches standard LG part configurations such as the 6615JB2002A Defrost Sensor Assembly. Samsung: Fits select Samsung double-door variants that route their safety fuse loop through the secondary standalone terminal wire. Panasonic & Toshiba: Highly compatible with regional top-freezer mechanical models utilizing an evaporator-mounted bimetal clip. Godrej & Videocon: Directly swaps into standard frost-free models configured with a 3-wire plug layout near the top of the cooling coils. 🛠️ Installation Check: Please look closely at your refrigerator’s old part before purchasing. This assembly features three wires split between two separate plug heads. If your original part features 3 wires entering a single rectangular connector block, or lacks the secondary plug, look for the single-plug version instead.
