OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat — HN68GA242 for Carlyle Compressor Model 06E265ARP

This factory OEM discharge gas thermostat is the exact-match replacement for the Carrier / Carlyle 06E265ARP semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor. Mounted directly at the cylinder head discharge port, this thermal sensor continuously monitors discharge gas temperature and opens the safety circuit at 295°F, shutting down the compressor before dangerous heat buildup can cause valve, winding, or bearing damage. The switch automatically resets when temperature falls back to 235°F, restoring normal operation without manual intervention. When this sensor fails or drifts out of calibration, symptoms include nuisance compressor lockouts, unexplained high-discharge-temp fault codes, or — in the case of a stuck-closed failure — catastrophic compressor damage from undetected overheating.

• Specs: Opens at 295°F | Resets (closes) at 235°F | Stainless steel body | Fits Carlyle 06E and 06C series compressors | OEM Part # HN68GA242
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier / Carlyle Factory Authorized Part. OEM sensors are calibrated to exact ±5°F factory tolerances. Aftermarket alternatives often carry ±15–20°F tolerances, risking both false trips and missed over-temperature events — neither of which is acceptable on a commercial compressor.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires refrigerant system pump-down before accessing the cylinder head. Tools needed: refrigerant recovery unit, manifold gauge set, appropriate wrenches for discharge port fitting, thread sealant. Always verify the new sensor's setpoint matches the original before restarting the compressor.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. In-stock units ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier / Carlyle 06E265ARP semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor. Also fits other Carlyle 06E and 06C series compressors specifying OEM part number HN68GA242.
