OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat (Opens at 295°F) for Model 06EREY165465

This OEM discharge gas thermostat (part number HN68GA242) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier 06EREY165465 Carlyle commercial compressor. Mounted directly on the compressor discharge line or head, this thermal sensor monitors discharge gas temperature and opens its electrical circuit at 295°F to protect the compressor from damaging overtemperature conditions. When this sensor fails or trips, the compressor will lock out on a high-discharge-temperature fault, shutting down the system entirely to prevent catastrophic mechanical failure.

• Specs: Opens at 295°F (146°C) | Cylinder/bulb-type thermal sensor | Carlyle Compressor application | Cross-references: OPR295, 1225, 5100034242, Airpax
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier/Carlyle OEM part with factory-calibrated trip points. Aftermarket alternatives may have wider trip-point tolerances (±10–15°F), risking nuisance trips or — more dangerously — delayed shutdown under true overtemperature events.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires refrigerant system lockout/tagout and compressor cool-down before servicing. Tools needed: manifold gauge set, torque wrench, thread sealant, multimeter for continuity verification post-install. Recommended for qualified HVAC-R technicians only.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock orders ship same business day from our warehouse.
