What it is

The Ideal upper crosspiece is a casing assembly component that forms part of the outer shell of the appliance. It sits across the top of the casing, holding the upper panels in alignment and giving the top section of the appliance its structural shape. This part is listed by Ideal under part number 171249, with 85558522 as the alternative number.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Casing panels no longer sit flush, or the top section of the casing is loose
  • Visible corrosion, rust staining or distortion along the crosspiece
  • Cracks or fractures in the metalwork
  • Rattling or vibration from the casing while the appliance is running
  • Difficulty refitting the outer panels after a service

Before you order

  • Confirm your appliance model against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Check the number on the existing crosspiece; 85558522 is the alternative number for this part.
  • Inspect the casing fixings while the crosspiece is removed, as these are often disturbed during the job.
