What it is
The Ideal 174742 is a control panel assembly for the high/low burner circuit, referenced in Ideal's documentation as FM196. It sits within the Ideal Commercial parts range and manages the changeover between high fire and low fire on the appliance it serves. The panel carries the switching and control components that govern burner output stages, so it is central to how the appliance modulates its firing rate.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The burner stays on one firing rate and will not step between high and low fire
- Output is erratic, with the appliance hunting or cycling instead of holding a steady stage
- The panel is unresponsive to demand, or the appliance fails to move through its firing sequence
- Visible damage to the panel, its connections or its switching components
- Repeated lockouts or fault indications that trace back to the burner control circuit
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the existing panel for the reference FM196 and compare it with the part number 174742
- Note the alternative number 1781328 when cross-referencing older documentation
- This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
