Primary documents behind these pages

Every manufacturer claim on this site traces to one of these catalogues, and each row below is a line quoted from the document rather than a paraphrase. Where a number is not printed in any of them, the page says so instead of borrowing authority from a distributor.

This page states how Fryer Thermostat Parts Reference was compiled, what is verified and what is not, and how to cite it. It is the page to read before relying on any part number, cross-reference or availability statement here.

Method: three classes of source, in this order

  1. OEM parts manuals — part numbers, item positions, build-date splits and model coverage.
  2. Distributor catalogs — specifications, interchange tables and availability observations.
  3. Component-maker documentation — where a fryer brand relabels a third-party device (Robertshaw, Fenwal, EGO), the maker's own specification is used.

What is not verified

“Interchange numbers come from distributor tables, not from manufacturer statements. They are recorded as reported, not verified. Treat them as leads.”

A cross-reference identifies a candidate, not a guarantee of fit. Fit depends on voltage, wattage, sensing-bulb length, capillary length, thread, and whether the control is manual or auto reset — the same part number can be right on one build and wrong on another.

Where sources disagree, the disagreement is recorded

Disagreements are not silently resolved. Two examples currently in the dataset:

Availability observations

Availability statements are point-in-time observations recorded with a check date. They are not commitments, not offers, and are not mirrored in the dataset. Nothing on this site is for sale and no prices are quoted.

Common questions

How was this part-number reference compiled?

Each part family was compiled from three classes of source, in this order: OEM parts manuals (part numbers, item positions, build-date splits, model coverage); distributor catalogs (specifications, interchange tables, availability observations); and component-maker documentation for devices a fryer brand relabels, such as Robertshaw, Fenwal and EGO.

Are the interchange cross-reference numbers verified?

No. Interchange numbers come from distributor tables, not from manufacturer statements. They are recorded as reported, not verified, and should be treated as leads rather than guarantees of fit.

Can this dataset be cited or redistributed?

Yes. The machine-readable dataset is released under CC0 and archived with a DOI at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23613054. The source repository is https://github.com/JSilent/fryer-parts-data.

Corrections

A useful correction includes the part number, the field, the value you believe is correct, and the document that establishes it. Corrections without a source cannot be evaluated.
