What it is
The Ideal 171298 is a summer/winter selector switch used on Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. It is the control the user turns to choose between summer operation, where the appliance serves hot water only, and winter operation, where both heating and hot water are produced. The switch sits in the appliance control circuit and signals the mode selected to the boiler's controls.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The appliance stays in one mode regardless of the switch position
- Heating runs when only hot water is called for, or hot water is not produced in the summer position
- The switch feels loose, gritty or fails to click into position
- Mode changes only work intermittently or need the switch to be held
- Visible damage, burning or discolouration around the switch body or terminals
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the GC number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the existing switch against previous part number 85000035, which may be marked on the old component
- Isolate the electrical supply to the appliance before removing or fitting the switch
- If the switch is being replaced as part of a wider control fault, check the associated wiring and connections at the same time
