Goodman Defrost Sensor 0130M00098

Goodman / Amana 0130M00098 Defrost Sensor | Pink Wire

The Goodman 0130M00098 is a genuine factory-authorized defrost sensor (thermistor) designed specifically for Goodman and Amana heat pump systems. This sensor is a critical safety and performance component that monitors the temperature of the outdoor coil to determine when the system needs to enter a defrost cycle to remove ice buildup.

This model is easily identified by its pink wire leads. It is a "clip-on" style thermistor that attaches directly to the copper refrigerant tubing of the outdoor coil, providing real-time thermal data to the defrost control board.

Key Features & Benefits

• Accurate Defrost Timing: Sends precise temperature signals to the control board to initiate defrost only when necessary, preventing energy waste and reducing wear on the compressor.
• OEM Resistance Curve: As a genuine Amana-Goodman OEM part, it features the specific thermistor resistance values required for the control board to interpret temperatures accurately.
• Durable Construction: Built with moisture-resistant potting and high-quality insulation on the pink wires to withstand the extreme temperature swings and vibration of an outdoor condensing unit.
• Easy Installation: Features a standard two-pin plug and a spring-loaded clip for secure attachment to the 3/8" or 1/2" OD coil tubing.

Compatibility Information

The 0130M00098 is a standard component in many modern high-efficiency heat pump models:

• Commonly Used In: GSZ14, GSZ16, ASZ14, ASZ16, and DSZC series heat pumps.
• Direct Replacement For: Replaces part numbers 0130M00098S, B13708-54, and various older coil sensor revisions.
• System Role: Works in tandem with the outdoor ambient sensor to calculate the "Delta-T" (temperature difference) required for demand-defrost logic.
