What it is

The Ideal 170231 is the control panel base used on Ideal Commercial Harrier appliances. It is the casing assembly that carries and locates the control fascia, holding the panel in position on the front of the appliance and protecting the controls and wiring behind it. The part is listed by Ideal under the description Control Panel Base and is manufactured by Caradon.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The control panel sits loose, drops away from the casing or will not seat squarely on the appliance front.
  • Cracks, splits or distortion in the base panel, often around the fixing points.
  • Broken or stripped screw fixings so the fascia cannot be secured properly.
  • Heat discolouration or warping of the panel base after prolonged running.
  • The fascia or controls no longer align with the openings in the casing.

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the Harrier range covers several variants with different panel arrangements.
  • Check the numbers on the existing panel base against 170231, 1177479 and 82190508 before ordering.
  • Inspect the panel fixings and any seals or gaskets around the casing, as these are often disturbed when the base is removed.
  • Isolate the electrical supply to the appliance before removing or refitting the control panel base.
