Ideal Spark Generator Assembly Mex HE30 HE36 174095

The Ideal 174095 is a piezo spark generator assembly supplied by Ideal for the Mexico HE range of appliances. It produces the high-voltage spark that jumps at the ignition electrode to light the burner when there is a call for heat or hot water. The assembly sits within the ignition circuit and is a serviceable item, so it can be renewed without disturbing the rest of the gas train.

• No spark at the electrode when the appliance is calling for heat, so the burner fails to light.
• The appliance locks out repeatedly on ignition failure, often after several attempts.
• Ignition becomes intermittent, with the burner lighting on some attempts and not others.
• No audible clicking from the spark generator when the ignition sequence starts.
• A weak or irregular spark that will not bridge the electrode gap reliably.

• Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the numbers listed above to confirm the correct variant.
• Confirm the model name on the badge, as Mexico HE30 and HE36 share the same ignition arrangement but differ in output.
• Note the alternative part number 1179823 in case the original marking has worn off the old component.
