OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat HN68GA242 for Carlyle Compressor Model 06E175ARP

This is the genuine OEM Factory Authorized Parts discharge gas thermostat for the Carrier / Carlyle 06E175ARP reciprocating compressor. The discharge gas thermostat monitors the temperature of the hot refrigerant gas leaving the compressor's discharge port. When discharge temperatures rise to unsafe levels — a condition that can be caused by low refrigerant charge, poor lubrication, or abnormal system pressures — this thermostat triggers a safety cutout to protect the compressor from catastrophic internal damage. A failed or out-of-calibration unit may result in nuisance lockouts, compressor overheating, or an inability to restart the system after a fault condition.

• OEM Part Number: HN68GA242 | Manufactured by Carlyle / Airpax | Also cross-references: OPR295, 5100034242
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Factory Authorized Parts (FAP) component matched to the exact calibration setpoint and probe geometry of the 06E175ARP compressor. Aftermarket thermostats may carry ±5–10°F setpoint drift, risking either premature nuisance trips or failure to protect the compressor at true over-temp conditions.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Requires system pump-down and refrigerant recovery before accessing the discharge port sensor well. Tools needed: refrigerant recovery machine, torque wrench, multimeter (continuity check post-install), and thread sealant. Recommended for qualified HVAC/R technicians only.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock — ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as the direct OEM replacement for the Carrier / Carlyle 06E175ARP reciprocating compressor. Verify the existing thermostat part number on your unit's data plate or wiring diagram before ordering. Our parts specialists are available to confirm fitment prior to purchase — your compressor's protection depends on the correct setpoint calibration.
