OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat HN68GA295 for Carlyle Compressor 06EW044840

This is the factory-authorized OEM discharge gas thermostat (part number HN68GA295), the direct replacement for the Carrier/Carlyle 06EW044840 semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor. The discharge gas thermostat is a critical safety and protection device mounted at the compressor discharge port. It continuously monitors the temperature of the hot refrigerant gas leaving the compressor cylinders. If discharge temperatures climb above the factory-set threshold — a condition caused by refrigerant loss, liquid slugging, high compression ratios, or blocked heat transfer surfaces — the thermostat trips and shuts down the compressor to prevent overheating, valve damage, oil carbonization, and catastrophic mechanical failure.

• Part Number: HN68GA295 | Factory Authorized Parts™ by Carrier — engineered to exact OEM setpoint and reset specifications for the 06EW series compressor platform.
• OEM vs Generic: OEM discharge thermostats are calibrated to precise trip and auto-reset temperatures validated for Carlyle compressor operating envelopes. Generic substitutes may use wider tolerances, risking nuisance trips or, worse, delayed shutdown and compressor damage on a commercial chiller system.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Requires refrigerant recovery and system pump-down before accessing the discharge port. Tools needed: refrigerant recovery machine, manifold gauge set, torque wrench, wire terminals/crimper, and multimeter to verify continuity. This repair should be performed by a certified HVACR technician (EPA 608 required).
• Warranty: 1-year OEM Factory Authorized Parts warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 2:00 PM local time.
