Ideal Ignition Electrode Kit 176259

The Ideal 176259 is an ignition electrode kit for Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits in the ignition circuit and produces the spark that lights the burner during start-up, so the appliance can fire reliably on demand. The kit is supplied under the Ideal Spares brand and is a serviceable item, since electrodes sit in the combustion path and degrade with use.

• The burner fails to light and no spark is visible at the electrode
• The appliance locks out repeatedly on ignition and clears only after a reset
• The electrode tip shows erosion, pitting or heavy carbon build-up
• The ceramic insulator is cracked, chipped or discoloured
• Ignition is intermittent, with the appliance firing on some attempts but not others

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Cross-reference the alternative part number 1782763 when checking against older documentation
• Inspect the electrode lead and any seal disturbed during removal at the same time, as these are often reused or replaced alongside the electrode
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
