OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat HN68GA295 for Carlyle Compressor 06EW044940

This OEM Carrier discharge gas thermostat (part number HN68GA295) is the factory-authorized replacement for the Carrier/Carlyle 06EW044940 semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor. Mounted on the compressor discharge line or cylinder head, this thermostat continuously monitors refrigerant discharge gas temperature and triggers a safety shutdown when temperatures exceed the factory-set trip point — protecting the compressor from catastrophic overheating, oil breakdown, and valve damage. When this sensor fails or drifts out of calibration, symptoms include nuisance high-discharge-temperature fault codes, compressor lockout after short run cycles, or — in a failed-open condition — unprotected operation that risks permanent compressor damage.
