What it is

The Ideal 171229 is a casing assembly upper plate — the long central plate that forms part of the outer casing on Ideal Commercial 1131 appliances. It is produced by Ideal and listed under part number 171229, with 85558066 as an alternative number. The plate closes the upper section of the appliance casing, protecting the internal components and keeping the outer panels aligned.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible corrosion, rust or pitting across the plate surface
  • Distortion or warping so the plate no longer sits flat against the casing
  • Cracks or splits in the metal
  • Elongated or damaged fixing holes that will not hold the plate securely
  • Casing panels that no longer line up or sit correctly around the upper section

Before you order

  • Check the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Confirm the number on the existing plate; older stock may carry 85558066.
