What it is

The Ideal 171233 is a casing assembly supplied as a long central upper plate. It forms part of the outer casing on Ideal Commercial appliances, closing off the upper section of the appliance and keeping the internal components shielded from the surrounding environment. The plate also helps maintain the intended airflow path around the combustion and heat exchange areas.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible corrosion, rust staining or pitting across the plate surface
  • Cracks, splits or distortion in the panel
  • Elongated or damaged mounting holes so the plate no longer seats correctly
  • Heat discolouration or warping near the burner or heat exchanger area
  • The panel fouls adjacent components or will not align with the rest of the casing

Before you order

  • Confirm the previous number 85558070 against the component being replaced
  • Check the appliance model against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Inspect the surrounding fixings and seals while the casing is open, as these are often disturbed during removal
