What it is
The Ideal 176266 is a cotter spring supplied by Ideal for use in Ideal Commercial appliances. A cotter spring is a small retaining component that holds a pin, spindle or linkage in position, preventing it from working loose under vibration or repeated movement. It is a service part rather than a wear item with a fixed interval, and is replaced when it is lost, deformed or corroded.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The spring is missing, having worked free during servicing or dismantling
- Visible corrosion, pitting or thinning of the spring wire
- The spring has lost tension and no longer grips the pin or spindle it retains
- The retained pin or linkage moves or rattles in service
- Distortion or flattening of the coils after removal and refitting
Before you order
- Confirm the part number against your appliance's parts list before ordering, as cotter springs are used in several positions across a range
- Note the alternative number 1180351, which may appear on older documentation or labels
- Check the appliance model and serial number so the correct spring is matched to your unit
- If the spring retains a component that also uses a seal or gasket, inspect that item at the same time
