Ideal Lower Hinge 172865

The Ideal 172865 is a lower hinge used on Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. It forms the bottom pivot point for the casing or access door, carrying the weight of the door as it swings and keeping the panel aligned with the frame. The hinge is supplied as an individual component and is listed by Ideal under the Catches & Hinges part group.

• The door or casing panel drops at the bottom corner and no longer sits square in the frame.
• The hinge pin or pivot shows visible wear, play or corrosion.
• The door catches or scrapes against the appliance body when opened or closed.
• Cracking or deformation around the hinge mounting points.
• The panel will not stay in its closed position because the lower pivot no longer holds it true.

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as hinge fitment varies between Buccaneer variants.
• Check whether the existing hinge is the lower position unit, since upper and lower hinges are separate parts.
• Note the previous number 81990203 and alternative number 1179110 when comparing against an existing hinge or an older parts list.
• This is not a gas-carrying component, so no gas-carrying work is involved in fitting it; any work inside the appliance casing should still be carried out by a competent engineer.
