OEM Carrier High Pressure Switch HK02ZA395 — 395/295 PSI for Model PY2PNB048090AA
This genuine OEM Carrier high pressure switch (part number HK02ZA395) is the factory-specified refrigerant safety switch for the Carrier PY2PNB048090AA packaged unit. The high pressure switch continuously monitors refrigerant discharge pressure and opens the safety circuit if pressure exceeds the rated cutout threshold — protecting the compressor from catastrophic over-pressure damage. When this switch fails or trips, the system may shut down on lockout, display a high-pressure fault code, or fail to maintain cooling, even when refrigerant charge and airflow appear normal.
