What it is

The Ideal 171272 is a 600mm long upper rear plate, supplied as part of the casing assembly for Ideal Commercial appliances. It forms the upper section of the rear casing envelope, closing off the back of the boiler shell above the lower panels. Its role is to protect the internal components behind it and to keep the appliance casing complete and correctly aligned.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Corrosion or rust tracking along the plate edges or fixing points
  • Cracking, splitting or perforation of the panel
  • Distortion that stops the casing sitting square against the appliance
  • Heat discolouration or flaking paint on the rear face
  • Fixings that no longer hold the plate securely in position

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Check the existing plate for the number 85558506 or 171272
  • Inspect the surrounding casing fixings and seals while the rear panel is removed
