Robertshaw 5300-204 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5300-204 is a heavy-duty single pole single throw (SPST) electric cooking control designed for demanding commercial foodservice environments. Engineered for precision, this snap-acting thermostat utilizes high-grade silver contacts to maintain thermal accuracy and terminal durability under high-amperage loads. With a broad temperature range of 100°F to 450°F, it serves as a reliable direct replacement for various OEM equipment, including models from Toastmaster and Garland. The 4-way mounting design provides versatile installation options, while the 24-inch capillary tube and 1/4" x 7" nickel-plated bulb ensure responsive temperature sensing for ovens and fryers.

Built for the rigors of the line, the 5300-204 features a rugged and compact design that fits tight footprints without sacrificing performance. Its mechanical differential is factory-set to approximately 12°F, ensuring stable heat cycles that are critical for consistent food quality. This K series electric thermostat is suitable for applications requiring a 25 Amp rating at 277V AC. For technicians performing field replacements, the stem is positioned with the flat in the down position, simplifying dial alignment during commercial kitchen equipment repair.

• Wide Thermal Range: Operates from 100°F to 450°F, making it ideal for standard ovens and warming equipment.
• Durable Construction: Features silver contacts and heavy-duty terminals to resist arcing and extend component life.
• Flexible Mounting: The 4-way mounting configuration allows for multiple orientation possibilities during installation.
• OEM Compatibility: Replaces common industry part numbers such as K-617-24, Toastmaster 7A25-86, and Garland 1102700.

Is the dial included with this thermostat?
Yes, this model typically includes a bezel and dial, though it is compatible with existing standard Robertshaw 5300 series dials if the stem length matches.

What is the maximum ambient temperature for the control body?
The control body is designed to withstand an ambient temperature of up to 200°F (93°C), allowing for installation in hot equipment compartments.

Can this replace a millivolt system thermostat?
No, the 5300-204 is a high-voltage electric control. For millivolt applications, you must use the 5300-400 RX series with hermetically sealed reed switches.
