OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat HN68GA242 — 295°F Limit for Carlyle Compressor 06EREY175475

This is the genuine OEM factory-specified discharge gas thermostat (thermal sensor) for the Carrier Carlyle compressor model 06EREY175475. Mounted directly on the compressor discharge line, this high-limit thermal sensor continuously monitors discharge gas temperature and opens the safety circuit when temperatures exceed 295°F, shutting down the compressor to prevent catastrophic valve damage, bearing failure, or refrigerant carbonization. A failed or nuisance-tripping discharge thermostat will cause intermittent or persistent high-pressure lockouts, unexplained compressor shutdowns, or — if ignored — a seized compressor with no warning.

• Specs: Opens at 295°F (146°C) | OEM Part # HN68GA242 | Factory Authorized Part for Carrier/Carlyle 06E and 06C compressor series | Thermal cutout type
• OEM vs Generic: OEM trip point accuracy is factory-calibrated to ±5°F. Aftermarket sensors with loose tolerances can open prematurely (nuisance trips) or fail to open in time, leading to compressor destruction — a risk no commercial system should take.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires recovery of refrigerant charge before access, proper torque on discharge line fittings, and electrical lockout/tagout procedure. Recommended tools: refrigerant recovery machine, torque wrench, multimeter, terminal crimper. Best performed by a certified HVAC/R technician.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
