What it is

The Ideal 176545 is a 30kW plate heat exchanger kit used in Ideal domestic and commercial gas appliances. The plate heat exchanger transfers heat from the primary circuit to the domestic hot water supply, so it sits at the centre of hot water production on a combi boiler. This kit is supplied by Ideal for the Logic Combi ESP1 and Vogue ranges.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Domestic hot water runs hot then cools, or the temperature swings between draws
  • Reduced hot water flow rate compared with the cold supply
  • Water weeping from the plate body or from the joints around the exchanger
  • Scale or debris build-up causing poor heat transfer and a sluggish response at the tap
  • Repeated lockout or fault codes linked to the hot water circuit

Before you order

  • Check the GC number and appliance serial plate to confirm the boiler model before ordering
  • Cross-check the alternative numbers 1782679 and N3793-1 against the part you are removing
  • Inspect the seals and gaskets on the existing exchanger and replace them if they are hardened or damaged
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
