What it is

The Ideal 171231 is a long central upper plate, listed as the 1381 variant, supplied as a casing assembly. It is part of the outer casing on Ideal Commercial appliances in the Viscount GTE family, forming the central upper section of the casing. The plate protects the upper casing area and holds the appliance's external profile in place.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible corrosion, rust staining or pitting across the plate surface
  • Cracks or splits in the panel, especially around the fixing points
  • Distortion or warping so the plate no longer sits flat against the casing
  • Heat discolouration or scorching on the panel
  • Loose, seized or missing fixings that let the plate rattle or sit proud of the casing

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model against the compatibility list below before ordering.
  • Check the number marked on the existing plate against 171231 and 85558068.
  • Have the appliance serial number available when checking parts information for the appliance.
