  • $100.03


The Ranco A12-700 Control is a versatile constant cut-in temperature control engineered for medium-temperature commercial refrigeration applications, including reach-in coolers, vending machines, and beverage dispensers. This SPST cold control is specifically designed to facilitate reliable off-cycle defrost, ensuring the evaporator coil is cleared of frost before the compressor restarts. With a fixed cut-in temperature of 37°F and an adjustable cut-out range, this unit provides precise thermal management for critical food safety and equipment performance. The 84-inch capillary tube offers significant installation flexibility, allowing the sensing bulb to be positioned deep within the cabinet or evaporator assembly for accurate feedback.

Built for the rigors of professional service, the Ranco A12-700 features high-amperage contacts rated for 16 FLA at 120/240V AC and a laser-welded stainless steel bellows for increased longevity under high cycle rates. Its close-on-rise switch action makes it a standard commercial refrigeration thermostat replacement for numerous OEM parts from manufacturers like Alco, Beverage-Air, and Continental. Technicians can rely on this universal refrigeration control to maintain stable cabinet temperatures while protecting system components from excessive wear during low-load intervals.

  • Constant Cut-in Performance: Maintains a steady 37°F cut-in to ensure consistent evaporator defrosting.
  • Extended Sensing Capability: Features a durable 84" capillary to accommodate diverse equipment footprints.
  • Professional Grade Construction: High-amperage SPST switch handles up to 80 LRA for heavy-duty compressor motor loads.
  • Broad Compatibility: Serves as a direct cross-reference for various commercial cooler and display case internal thermostats.
Common Questions & Compatibility
  • How do I adjust the temperature? The dial controls the cut-out setting (ranging from approximately 11.5°F to 26°F) while the 37°F cut-in remain constant.
  • Can this replace a beverage cooler thermostat? Yes, it is a frequent one-for-one replacement for automatic beverage dispensers and reach-in coolers requiring frost-free operation.
  • Is the sensor bulb included? The unit utilizes a vapor-filled capillary sensing element that is integrated into the 84-inch tubing for immediate thermal response.
