What it is
The Ideal Sensor 5.0m Long, part number 172955, is a temperature sensor supplied on a 5 metre cable. It is used across the Ideal Commercial Buccaneer range, where it feeds temperature information back to the appliance control board so the boiler can regulate its output and shut down safely when limits are reached.
The part is listed by Ideal under the number 95362448 and is also referenced as 1179195. It is a direct replacement item for the sensor fitted to the appliances listed below.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The appliance locks out or shuts down without an obvious cause
- Reported temperatures do not match the actual flow or return temperature
- Erratic burner modulation, short cycling or unstable running
- Intermittent faults that clear after a reset and then return
- Fault codes relating to temperature sensing or overheat protection
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the number on the sensor you are removing; 172955 is also listed as 95362448 and 1179195
- Note the existing cable route before removal so the 5.0 m replacement can be run the same way
- This is not a gas-carrying component
