What it is

The Ideal 171297 is a test switch used on Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. It forms part of the control and switching circuit, allowing the engineer to test the appliance's operation during commissioning and service. It is a direct replacement component for the original factory-fitted switch.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The appliance fails to respond when the test sequence is initiated.
  • Intermittent or unreliable switching during service checks.
  • Visible damage, scorching or looseness at the switch body or terminals.
  • Fault codes or lockouts traced to the switching circuit during diagnosis.
  • Physical wear on the actuator or housing after long service.

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Check whether the existing switch carries the earlier number 85000034, as this identifies the same component.
  • Inspect any associated seals, gaskets or fixings on removal and replace them if they are disturbed.
