OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat — Opens at 295°F | Model 06CCCY125

This genuine OEM Carrier discharge gas thermostat (part number HN68GA242) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier 06CCCY125 Carlyle reciprocating compressor. Mounted directly on the compressor discharge line, this high-limit thermal sensor monitors discharge gas temperature and opens its circuit at 295°F to protect the compressor from catastrophic overtemperature damage. When it fails or trips, the compressor will lock out, refuse to start, or shut down mid-cycle — symptoms often misdiagnosed as a refrigerant, electrical, or control board fault.

• Specs: Opens at 295°F (146°C) | Carlyle compressor application | Cross-references: OPR295, 1225, 5100034242, Airpax | OEM Carrier/Carlyle factory part
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carlyle/Carrier component. Aftermarket substitutes frequently carry incorrect trip-point tolerances, which can result in nuisance trips at lower temperatures or — more dangerously — failure to open at true over-temperature conditions, risking compressor destruction.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires recovery of system refrigerant charge before accessing discharge line components. Tools needed: manifold gauge set, torque wrench, refrigerant recovery unit, leak detector. Technician EPA 608 certification required. Always de-energize the unit and lock out/tag out before servicing.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock orders ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier 06CCCY125 Carlyle compressor unit. Verify your compressor model and existing thermostat trip-point (295°F / opens-on-rise) against your unit's data plate before ordering. Not all 06CC-series compressors use the same trip-point sensor — confirm part number HN68GA242 is listed on your unit's parts breakdown. Questions about fitment?
