EBG61287706 Genuine NTC Thermistor Assembly for LG Air Conditioners, LG Temperature Sensor

Genuine LG part EBG61287706 is an NTC thermistor assembly, a temperature sensor with its lead and plug, for LG air conditioners. NTC means the sensor's resistance drops as its temperature rises, and the control board reads that change as a temperature. LG doesn't describe which position this sensor fills, so match the EBG number on your old sensor, or ask us to check your model, before ordering.

Symptoms of a failed LG air conditioner thermistor

Split systems use several thermistors, measuring things like room air, coil temperature, outdoor air and compressor discharge. The board uses those readings to decide compressor speed, fan speed, defrost timing and protection shutdowns. When one sensor drifts or fails, the unit can behave strangely. You may see a sensor error code, poor heating or cooling, frequent defrosting, the outdoor unit stopping and starting, or the system shutting down for protection. Since several sensors look alike, always replace like for like by part number.

Replacing an NTC sensor

Isolate the system at the circuit breaker and wait a few minutes before opening any panels. Follow the old sensor's lead back to the board and route the new one the same way, clear of hot pipes and sharp edges. Use the same clip or pocket to hold the sensor head. Air conditioner repairs should be done by a licensed technician.

Questions about this part

Is EBG61287706 the same as other LG thermistors?

No. LG uses many thermistor assemblies that look similar but differ in resistance curve, lead length and plug. Fitting the wrong one can give the board false readings. Use the number on your old sensor, or send your model numbers so we can check.
