Ideal Dual Control Thermostat 176757

The Ideal 176757 is a dual control and overheat thermostat supplied as a replacement component for Ideal Thermstore appliances. It combines two functions in one unit: regulating the stored water temperature during normal running, and acting as a safety cut-out that interrupts the heat source if the appliance overheats. It is a direct replacement for the thermostat fitted across the Thermstore range and Ideal Commercial equipment.

• The appliance locks out repeatedly and needs resetting before it will run again
• Stored water temperature drifts away from the set point or runs hotter than expected
• The overheat cut-out trips even when the cylinder is well below its normal working temperature
• The thermostat fails to respond to adjustment of the control dial
• Intermittent shutdowns that clear on their own once the appliance has cooled

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the same thermostat body is used across several Thermstore sizes
• Check the number printed on the existing thermostat; 1783285 may appear on older stock in place of 176757
