A foodservice equipment repair can call for a very specific kind of part, and the wrong category can be just as unhelpful as the wrong model number. Start by separating temperature sensing from controller replacement, then use the named equipment application or part number to narrow the choice. This group includes a Cleveland thermistor kit, two closely priced Hoshizaki controllers, and a Kelvinator genuine OEM replacement part.
Quick take
- Choose the Replacement Cleveland KE003868 Thermistor Replacement Kit for Commercial Steam when the repair involves temperature monitoring in Cleveland steam kettles or mixer kettles. It is the listed low-price option at USD 37.50.
- Choose the Hoshizaki SP-5764 Ascon UR/WR Controller Replacement Commercial Appliance Parts when SP-5764 and the Ascon UR/WR controller designation match the required Hoshizaki component.
- Choose the Hoshizaki SP-5766 Controller Replacement Commercial Appliance Parts for a Hoshizaki controller replacement tied to part number SP-5766 and refrigeration-setting management.
- Choose the Kelvinator 0US945- Genuine OEM Replacement Part when the job calls specifically for Kelvinator part number 0US945 and a genuine OEM part.
Listed-price comparison
The listed-price spread is USD 235.23, from the Cleveland thermistor kit to the Kelvinator part. The two Hoshizaki controllers sit close together, with USD 1.64 between their listed prices.

Decision matrix: identify the part before comparing price
Need a temperature-sensing component for Cleveland steam equipment? The KE003868 thermistor kit is the direct match in this group. Its wire type and thermistor designation set it apart from the controller-focused Hoshizaki choices.
Replacing a Hoshizaki controller? Treat SP-5764 and SP-5766 as separate part-number decisions. Their listed prices are nearly the same, so the UR/WR designation for SP-5764 versus the SP-5766 refrigeration-setting description should drive the selection.
Working from a Kelvinator part number? The 0US945 is the appropriate candidate when that exact number is required. It carries the highest listed price, so its genuine OEM designation is most relevant when that specification is central to the repair.
Product notes
Replacement Cleveland KE003868 Thermistor Replacement Kit for Commercial Steam
The strongest reason to select the Replacement Cleveland KE003868 Thermistor Replacement Kit for Commercial Steam is its stated role in temperature monitoring for Cleveland steam kettles and mixer kettles. It is a new Wholesale Sensors wire-type kit, made in the United States, and its USD 37.50 listed price makes it the clear low-cost choice among these four parts. The description also positions the kit for commercial cooking equipment where temperature consistency matters. Its limitation is also its focus: KE003868 is a thermistor replacement kit, not a Hoshizaki-style controller replacement. Pick it for a Cleveland commercial-steam temperature-sensing repair rather than a general control-module need.
Hoshizaki SP-5764 Ascon UR/WR Controller Replacement Commercial Appliance Parts
Hoshizaki SP-5764 Ascon UR/WR Controller Replacement Commercial Appliance Parts is the focused choice for a repair identified as SP-5764 or Ascon UR/WR. The new Hoshizaki component is described for use in Hoshizaki commercial appliances, and the product description identifies it as genuine. At USD 184.55, it is one of the two middle-priced controller options. The key limitation is its specific controller designation: SP-5764 should be selected for an UR/WR controller requirement, not simply because it is close in price to SP-5766. For an equipment repair with that exact Hoshizaki part number, the model-specific naming provides the clearest reason to choose it.
Hoshizaki SP-5766 Controller Replacement Commercial Appliance Parts
Select Hoshizaki SP-5766 Controller Replacement Commercial Appliance Parts when SP-5766 is the required Hoshizaki controller number, particularly for the stated role of managing refrigeration settings. The new part is described as genuine and intended for Hoshizaki commercial appliances. Its USD 182.91 listed price is slightly lower than the SP-5764 controller, but the part number and stated controller role matter more than that narrow gap. Its limitation is that it remains a targeted refrigeration-oriented controller replacement rather than the Cleveland temperature-sensing kit or the Kelvinator 0US945 OEM part. It is the practical match for an SP-5766-specific maintenance job.
Kelvinator 0US945- Genuine OEM Replacement Part
Kelvinator 0US945- Genuine OEM Replacement Part is the pick when the repair specification calls for Kelvinator MPN 0US945 and a genuine OEM component. The part is new, carries the FOOD_SERVICE_SUPPLY type, and lists China as its country of origin. Its description emphasizes genuine parts in relation to continued equipment use and warranty considerations. At USD 272.73, it is the highest-priced entry here, which is the main tradeoff against the more narrowly described Cleveland and Hoshizaki components. Choose 0US945 for a part-number-led Kelvinator replacement decision; its title does not identify a controller or thermistor function like the other three entries.
Final recommendation by use case
For Cleveland steam-kettle or mixer-kettle temperature monitoring, choose the KE003868 thermistor kit. For a Hoshizaki controller, select SP-5764 only for the Ascon UR/WR designation and SP-5766 for the stated refrigeration-setting controller role. For a Kelvinator repair defined by MPN 0US945 and a genuine OEM requirement, choose the Kelvinator 0US945. In this category, matching the equipment application and part number is the decisive step; listed price is most useful after that match is made.
