What it is
The Ideal 176139 is a flow turbine cartridge used in Ideal Logic Code Combi appliances. It sits in the domestic hot water circuit and spins as water is drawn through it, generating the signal the boiler uses to recognise a hot water demand and fire the burner accordingly. Supplied under the Ideal Spares brand, it is the cartridge element of the flowswitch assembly rather than the complete housing.
Signs this part needs replacing
- No hot water production despite the boiler running for heating
- Boiler fails to fire when a hot tap is opened
- Intermittent or fluctuating hot water, with the burner dropping out mid-draw
- Fault code relating to hot water demand or flow detection logged on the display
- Visible wear, debris build-up or a turbine that no longer spins freely when the cartridge is removed
Before you order
- Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list, as the same model name can appear in more than one build variant
- Confirm the alternative number 1781802 matches the part currently fitted before ordering
- Inspect the cartridge housing and seals while the assembly is apart, as debris in the DHW circuit is a common cause of repeat failure
- This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
