OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat 295°F for Model 06CY016D103

The Carrier HN68GA242 is the factory-specified discharge gas thermostat (thermal sensor) for the Carrier 06CY016D103 commercial refrigeration compressor. Mounted directly on the compressor discharge line, this thermo-magnetic switch continuously monitors discharge gas temperature and opens at 295°F to cut power to the compressor before dangerously high temperatures cause valve damage, oil degradation, or catastrophic compressor failure. If your system is experiencing nuisance high-temperature lockouts, failing to start, or shutting down prematurely under load, a faulty discharge thermostat is a primary suspect.

• Specs: Opens at 295°F (146°C) | Thermo-magnetic contact switch | Mounts to discharge port/line | OEM Part Number: HN68GA242 | Fits Carrier / Carlyle 06C and 06E series compressors
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier / Carlyle part built to exact factory trip-point tolerances. Aftermarket thermal sensors often carry ±10–15°F variance on the opening temperature — an unacceptable margin on a safety-critical compressor protection device.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — System must be properly recovered before accessing the discharge port. Tools needed: refrigerant recovery unit, torque wrench, thread sealant, manifold gauges, and a multimeter to verify continuity before re-commissioning. Recommended for qualified refrigeration technicians only.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock units ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier 06CY016D103 Carlyle open-drive reciprocating compressor and other 06C / 06E series models specifying the HN68GA242 discharge sensor.
