What it is
The Ideal 172880 is a retaining spring from Ideal's clips, pins and springs range. It holds a clip, pin or moving component under tension so that it stays correctly seated during operation. The part is used across Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances, including the GTE and GTE4 families.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The component the spring retains no longer sits firmly and moves in service
- The spring is visibly stretched, distorted or broken
- Corrosion or pitting is present on the coils
- Tension has dropped, so the clip or pin it holds can work loose
- A rattle or vibration appears in the assembly that was not there before
Before you order
- Match the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
- Compare the spring already fitted with the numbers listed here, including 1179125 and 97581286, if the appliance has been worked on previously.
- Check whether any associated clip, pin or seal is also worn and should be replaced at the same time.
