What it is
The Ideal 176281 is a thermistor used for flow, return and header temperature sensing on Ideal Commercial appliances. A thermistor is a temperature-dependent resistor: its resistance changes as it heats or cools, which lets the appliance control board read water temperature and manage firing, modulation and safety cut-outs. The part is supplied by Ideal under manufacturer code 176281.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The appliance locks out or fails to fire despite a call for heat
- Displayed flow or return temperatures are erratic or clearly inaccurate
- Repeated high-limit trips or overheating faults
- Poor modulation, with the appliance cycling more often than expected
- Fault codes logged against the flow, return or header temperature sensor
Before you order
- Confirm 176281 against your appliance's parts list or serial number before ordering
- Cross-reference the alternative number 1180359 when checking older documentation
