What it is

The Ideal 172178 is the front lower insulation panel (FRT lower insulation) supplied for Ideal Commercial Concord appliances. It is fitted at the lower front of the appliance, where it holds heat within the heat exchanger area and limits the temperature reached by the surrounding casing. The panel is a direct replacement for the original insulation board used on these commercial Concord models.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The insulation board is crumbling, flaking or breaking apart when handled
  • Discolouration, charring or brittleness across the lower front section
  • Gaps opening up between the insulation and the casing or heat exchanger face
  • Higher surface temperatures or noticeable heat loss around the lower front of the appliance
  • Damp or saturated insulation following a leak or condensate spill

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number; this panel is listed for Ideal Commercial Concord ES260/H CPT and ESi 260 CPT variants.
  • Compare the number on the panel being removed with 8358-4029 or 1178563 to confirm the match.
  • Inspect the fixings and any seals around the lower front cover while access is open, and replace them if they are perished.
