This OEM discharge gas thermostat is the factory-specified replacement part for the Carrier / Carlyle 06EW044960 semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor. Mounted directly on the compressor's discharge line or cylinder head, it continuously monitors refrigerant discharge gas temperature and triggers a safety shutdown if temperatures exceed the factory-set limit. Without a functioning discharge gas thermostat, a compressor operating with low refrigerant charge, a flooded start condition, or a restricted system can sustain catastrophic internal damage within minutes. If your compressor is locking out on high-temperature fault or the discharge thermostat fails continuity testing, this is the correct OEM replacement.
Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for the Carrier / Carlyle 06EW044960 semi-hermetic compressor. Verify your compressor model number and existing thermostat part number on the unit's nameplate before ordering. Not sure it fits?
