OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat HN68GA295 for Carlyle Compressor 06EW044960

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.

• Part Number: HN68GA295 (also referenced as HN-68GA-295) | Factory Authorized Parts™ OEM designation | Direct factory replacement for Carrier / Carlyle 06EW044960
• OEM vs Generic: OEM thermostats maintain factory-calibrated trip points, ensuring the compressor shuts down at the precise discharge temperature threshold. Aftermarket substitutes with uncalibrated setpoints risk both nuisance trips and insufficient protection — neither is acceptable in a commercial refrigeration or HVAC chiller application.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Requires recovery and isolation of the refrigerant circuit before accessing the discharge connection. Tools needed: manifold gauge set, torque wrench, wire terminals/crimps, and a multimeter to verify continuity before re-commissioning. Always follow Carrier/Carlyle service procedures for semi-hermetic compressor work.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.
