OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat 295°F (HN68GA242) for Model 06CCCY228

This OEM discharge gas thermostat is the factory-authorized replacement for the Carrier 06CCCY228 Carlyle reciprocating compressor. Mounted directly on the compressor discharge line, this thermal sensor continuously monitors discharge gas temperature and opens its circuit at 295°F to interrupt operation before catastrophic overheating damage occurs. A failed or tripped discharge gas thermostat will typically result in compressor lockout, nuisance short-cycling, or complete system shutdown — all signs that this safety device needs immediate inspection or replacement.

• Specs: Opens at 295°F (146°C) | Thermo-magnetic heater control switch design | Carlyle/Carrier OEM factory part | Also referenced as Thermal Sensor Open 295F
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier/Carlyle part (HN68GA242) built to exact factory trip-point tolerances. Aftermarket sensors can drift ±10–15°F on the trip threshold, risking either premature nuisance lockouts or — worse — insufficient overtemperature protection that can destroy a compressor.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires system lockout/tagout (LOTO) and refrigerant system pressure awareness. Tools needed: manifold gauge set, torque wrench, electrical multimeter for continuity verification before reinstallation. Recommended for certified HVAC-R technicians.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In-stock orders ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier 06CCCY228 Carlyle compressor series. Also fits select 06C and 06E Carlyle compressor models — verify your model and data plate before ordering. Have a fitment question? Our technical team confirms compatibility before you buy.
