AEG 63-00155-01
Product Name: NTC Temperature Sensor / Thermistor
Model Series: 63 Series — Temperature Sensing Elements
Applicable Products: AEG Washing Machines, Dryers, Ovens, Dishwashers
Product Description:
The AEG 63-00155-01 is an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor used for temperature sensing and monitoring across multiple AEG appliance types. It provides precise resistance-based temperature readings to the main control board, enabling accurate temperature regulation during wash cycles, drying cycles, oven cooking, and dishwasher sanitization.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Part Number: 63-00155-01
- Sensor Type: NTC Thermistor (Negative Temperature Coefficient)
- Resistance at 25°C: 10kΩ (±1% tolerance) — standard value
- B-Constant (B25/85): 3950K (±1%)
- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +150°C
- Accuracy: ±0.5°C at 25°C, ±1.0°C at 0–100°C
- Response Time: < 3 seconds (in water), < 8 seconds (in air)
- Housing Material: Epoxy-coated stainless steel sheath (AISI 316)
- Cable Length: 300mm – 1000mm (varies by application)
- Connector: 2-pin spade or 3-pin Molex
- IP Rating: IP67 (when fully sheathed)
Functional Features:
- Resistance decreases as temperature increases — control board calculates temperature via lookup table
- Used for: water temperature monitoring, drum temperature, oven cavity temperature, drying thermostat backup
- Fail-safe behavior: Open circuit = control board detects “sensor fault” and stops heating
Materials:
- Sensing Element: Metal oxide ceramics (Mn-Ni-Co spinel)
- Sheath: Stainless steel (AISI 316L), 6mm diameter
- Insulation: MgO (Magnesium Oxide) powder fill
- Lead Wires: Tinned copper, silicone insulated
Applicable Locations by Appliance:
| Appliance | Location | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Washing Machine | Drum water inlet | Water temperature sensing |
| Dryer | Exhaust duct / drum | Drying temperature control |
| Oven | Cavity wall | Oven temperature regulation |
| Dishwasher | Wash tub | Wash water temperature |
Installation Notes:
- Sensor must be fully immersed in water or in direct thermal contact with the measured medium
- Do not bend the sheath below 15mm radius — risk of internal wire breakage
- Replace with identical B-value sensor — mixing 10kΩ with 5kΩ sensors causes temperature reading errors
