What it is

The Ideal 172168 is a front upper insulation panel used on Ideal Commercial Concord appliances. It is the upper section of the front insulation set, sitting against the casing where heat retention and protection of surrounding components matter most. The panel is listed under Ideal's insulation part type and carries the previous reference 8358-4018.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Insulation board crumbling, flaking or breaking up when the casing is opened
  • Discoloured, scorched or heat-damaged surface on the upper front panel
  • Visible gaps between the insulation and the casing, allowing heat to escape
  • Condensation or damp patches around the upper front casing area
  • Insulation coming away from its backing or losing shape during a service

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the GC number against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Check the existing panel against the previous number 8358-4018 to be sure the correct upper front section is being replaced
  • Inspect the remaining insulation panels at the same time, as upper and lower sections often deteriorate together
  • Work on the appliance casing and insulation should be carried out by a competent engineer
