What it is

The Ideal 171254 is an upper front crosspiece supplied as part of the casing assembly for Ideal Commercial appliances. It forms the upper front section of the outer casing, closing off the front of the appliance above the main access panel and holding the casework in line. The crosspiece is matched to the Viscount GTE family and the associated Nuway and Riello variants, where the casing panels are shaped around the heat exchanger and burner access.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible cracking, splitting or distortion in the crosspiece
  • Corrosion or rust staining along the panel edges
  • The crosspiece no longer sits flush, leaving a gap at the front of the casing
  • Fixing holes or mounting points have worn or torn
  • Casework rattles or moves because the upper front section is no longer rigid

Before you order

  • Confirm your appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Check whether the previous number 85550526 is quoted on older paperwork or on the existing component
