Robertshaw 5300-758 Thermostat
The Robertshaw 5300-758 Thermostat is a high-performance electric cooking control designed for heavy-duty commercial applications. This KX-series snap-acting thermostat provides precise temperature regulation across a 175°F to 375°F range, making it a critical component for fryers, griddles, and industrial heating systems. As a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) device, it features silver contacts and rugged terminals to ensure long-term electrical conductivity and consistent thermal sensing performance under high ambient temperatures. The stainless steel sensing bulb (5/16" x 5-13/16") and 54-inch capillary provide the durability and flexibility needed for diverse equipment configurations.
For technicians performing a thermostat replacement, the 5300-758 serves as a direct OEM alternative for various Anets and Robertshaw models. The pilot duty rating of 50VA at 120/277V AC and a mechanical differential of 8°F ensure tight control cycles to prevent temperature overshooting. With its dip-sealed construction and 13/16" stem length, this Robertshaw KX-286 model maintains accuracy in demanding kitchen environments.
Key Benefits:- Precise Thermal Management: Features a narrow 8°F mechanical differential for tight temperature stability in commercial fryers and ovens.
- Rugged Construction: Equipped with a stainless steel bulb and capillary to resist corrosion and mechanical wear in high-heat zones.
- Reliable Switching: Utilizes snap-acting SPST silver contacts to reduce arcing and ensure a clean electrical break upon reaching the set point.
- OEM Compatibility: Replaces Robertshaw KX-286-54 and various Anets part numbers including P8901-70 and P8903-75.
- Industrial Durability: Rated for pilot duty applications at 120/277V AC, specifically engineered for the commercial cooking industry.
What equipment is compatible with the Robertshaw 5300-758?
This thermostat is primarily used in commercial deep fryers and griddles, notably compatible with Anets equipment. It serves as a direct replacement thermostat for models requiring a 175°F–375°F range and a 54" capillary.
Does this unit include a dial?
No, the 5300-758 is a no-dial thermostat configuration. It is designed for use with existing equipment knobs that fit the standard 13/16" stem length and flat-down position.
Can I use this for millivolt systems?
No, this is an electric thermostat rated for 120/277V AC pilot duty. For millivolt applications, you would typically require an RX-series thermostat with a hermetically sealed reed switch.
