Robertshaw 5000-851 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5000-851 is a professional-grade commercial electric oven thermostat engineered for high-demand kitchen environments. Designed as a heavy-duty DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) control, this unit features a snap-action mechanism that provides instantaneous switching to prevent arcing and ensure precise temperature regulation. With a broad temperature range of 100°F to 550°F and a 60-inch capillary, it offers the flexibility needed for various equipment configurations, including those from brands like Hobart, Vulcan, and General Electric.

Built for durability, the replacement oven thermostat utilizes two electrically welded stainless steel diaphragms for maximum sensitivity without over-stressing the hardware. This 5000 series Robertshaw control is rated for up to 30 Amps at 277V AC, making it the reliable choice for contractors servicing commercial ranges, fryers, and deck ovens. The positive "OFF" feature ensures a complete mechanical disconnect when the dial is turned to the lowest position, maintaining safety and operational integrity in harsh galley conditions.

• DPST Snap-Action: Provides a clean break on both poles, essential for high-voltage commercial heating elements.
• Enhanced Sensitivity: Dual-welded stainless steel diaphragms respond to minute temperature changes for tight differential control.
• Universal Mounting: Features terminals mounted in four different positions and a 4-way dial for easy integration into existing enclosures.
• Heavy-Duty Reliability: Rated for 30A at 277V AC and 21A at 480V AC, capable of handling the electrical loads of industrial cooking equipment.
• Wide Compatibility: Direct replacement for numerous OEM parts, including Hobart 115119-G1 and various D1 series configurations.

Is the 5000-851 suitable for deep fryers or just ovens?
While primarily used in ovens due to the 550°F maximum setting, this Robertshaw industrial control is compatible with any commercial electric cooking appliance requiring a DPST switch and accurate temperature sensing within its specified range.

Does this unit include the dial and bezel?
Yes, as a Robertshaw Uni-Kit, it typically includes the 4-way dial and mounting bezel to ensure a complete field replacement for the technician.

Can I use this for a 480V application?
The 5000-851 is rated for 21 Amps at 480V AC, allowing it to function in high-voltage industrial systems that require a double-pole break.
