OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat HN68GA242 for Carlyle Compressor 06E265565

This is the factory OEM discharge gas thermostat for the Carrier/Carlyle compressor model 06E265565, supplied as part number HN68GA242 (superseded by / cross-compatible with HN68GA295). The discharge gas thermostat is a critical compressor safety device: it monitors the temperature of hot refrigerant gas at the compressor discharge port and cuts the compressor off before dangerously high discharge temperatures can cause oil carbonization, valve failure, or catastrophic compressor damage. When this thermostat fails or drifts out of calibration, the compressor may trip on high-discharge lockout, run unprotected, or fail to restart after a high-temperature fault — all symptoms that point directly to this component.

• OEM Part Numbers: HN68GA242 (primary) | HN68GA295 (current/superseding) | Also replaces: HN68GA121, HN68GA120, 06EG500001, 38AB402182, HH13HA081, HH13HA082
• OEM vs Generic: This is a Factory Authorized Part — Carrier/Carlyle-spec sensing element, setpoint calibration, and lead wire length. Generic substitutes risk mis-calibrated trip points that leave your compressor unprotected or cause nuisance lockouts.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires refrigerant system pump-down and recovery before accessing the discharge port. Tools needed: refrigerant recovery unit, torque wrench, manifold gauges, multimeter for continuity check. Always verify setpoint after installation. Recommended for qualified HVAC-R technicians only.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier/Carlyle semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor 06E265565. Also fits related 06E-series Carlyle compressor variants using the HN68GA-series discharge gas thermostat.
