What it is

The Ideal 173236 is an air pressure switch rated at 0.88 mbar, manufactured for Ideal domestic boilers. It monitors the pressure generated by the combustion fan and signals the control board that airflow is proven before the boiler is allowed to ignite. It is used across the Europa and Mini ranges.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler locks out or fails to fire even though the fan is running
  • Repeated ignition attempts with no flame established
  • Intermittent lockouts that clear on reset and then return
  • The fan runs continuously, or the boiler shuts down shortly after start-up
  • Fault codes relating to fan operation or air pressure proving

Before you order

  • Check the model and GC number on the boiler data badge against the compatibility list below
  • Confirm the part number on the existing switch matches 173236 or one of the alternative numbers listed
