What it is

The Ideal 171236 is a long central upper plate, supplied as part of the casing assembly for Ideal Commercial appliances. It forms the upper central section of the outer casing, closing off the top of the unit and protecting the internal components beneath it while keeping the appliance's external profile correct. The plate is listed under Ideal part number 171236 and carries the alternative number 85558073.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible corrosion, rust staining or pitting across the plate surface
  • Distortion, bowing or warping that prevents the casing sitting flush
  • Cracks, splits or holes in the plate material
  • Damaged or elongated fixing holes that no longer hold the plate securely
  • Heat discolouration or blistering of the coating around the upper section

Before you order

  • Confirm your appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Cross-check the number stamped or printed on the existing plate against 171236 and 85558073.
  • Inspect the surrounding casing fixings and any seals at the same time, as these are often disturbed during removal.
  • This is not a gas-carrying component, but any work inside the appliance casing should be carried out by a competent person.
