What it is
The Ideal 172866 is the upper hinge for the casing and access panels on Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. It is supplied by Ideal as a direct replacement for the hinge fitted at the top edge of the panel, letting the door or casing section swing clear for servicing and inspection. The part carries the manufacturer code 172866 and is also listed under the number 81990204.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The casing door or panel sags at the top and no longer sits square in the frame
- The door drops or pulls away when opened, or will not stay in the open position
- Stiff, grinding or noisy movement as the panel pivots
- Visible wear, cracking or corrosion around the hinge pin or mounting points
- The panel catches on the appliance body instead of closing cleanly
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the existing hinge against part number 172866, and note the alternative numbers 81990204 and 1179111
- Inspect the lower hinge and fixings at the same time, as wear often affects both positions
- Have the appliance reassembled and any disturbed seals refitted correctly before returning it to service
