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.
