Ideal Burner Door Hinge 170278

This is the burner door hinge supplied by Ideal for its commercial boiler range. It carries the burner door on the appliance casing, allowing the door to swing clear for burner access and to close squarely against the combustion chamber face. The hinge is a load-bearing item, so wear at the pin or mounting points shows up as a door that drops or fails to seat properly.

• The burner door hangs low or drops as it is opened, rather than swinging on a level axis.
• The hinge pin or bush is stiff, corroded or seized, making the door difficult to move.
• The door will not close flush against the combustion chamber face, so the seal does not sit evenly.
• Visible cracking, distortion or elongation of the hinge mounting holes.
• Combustion readings or flame picture change after the door has been disturbed, pointing to an inconsistent door seal.

• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
• Check the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering, as the hinge is used across a number of Ideal commercial variants.
• Confirm the number on the existing hinge or the appliance parts list; earlier units may be marked 82290205.
• Inspect the burner door seal at the same time, since a door that has been running out of alignment can damage the sealing face.
