Electric cook control thermostat
The Robertshaw 5300-651 is a new electric thermostat designed for cook equipment. It uses a 60 in capillary tube with a 1/4 in sensing bulb to regulate temperature. The 2 in stem and 11 5/8 in bulb fit specific appliance mounting requirements. It serves as a direct replacement for the SP-197 control.
Suits owners of listed compatible brands
This part fits appliances from brands including Magic Chef, Whirlpool, Ranco, and Chambers among others. It is not suitable for equipment requiring a different capillary length or bulb diameter. Buyers who need a control for a brand not listed here should look elsewhere.
60 in capillary length decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 60 in capillary tube length. If the original control uses a different capillary measurement, this thermostat will not install correctly. Verify the capillary length on the unit being replaced before ordering.

Questions about this item
What does the 60 in capillary length mean once the thermostat is installed?
The 60 in capillary tube connects the sensing bulb to the control body, allowing the bulb to sit inside the oven cavity while the dial and switch remain on the panel up to five feet away.
What connection standard does the stem use and what does it limit?
The 2 in stem uses a standard threaded shaft that fits typical panel cut-outs, limiting mounting thickness to the stem length and compatible knob designs.
What physical space do the sensing bulb dimensions need to fit?
The bulb measures 1/4 in diameter by 11 5/8 in long, so the mounting clip or well must accommodate that length and diameter inside the appliance cavity.
