Ideal Spring 178018

The Ideal spring, part number 178018, is a service spare from the clips, pins and springs group of components used across the Ideal Commercial Evojet range. It is listed by the manufacturer under code 4034608 and is fitted where a light, controlled return force is needed within the appliance assembly.

The spring holds tension on the component it is seated against, keeping that part in its correct position through the operating cycle. Over time, heat cycling and vibration take their toll on small springs, and a tired or broken one can affect how the surrounding assembly behaves.

• The part the spring tensions no longer returns cleanly to its rest position
• Visible corrosion, pitting or surface rust across the coils
• The spring has stretched, compressed or otherwise lost its original tension
• Cracking or breakage at the coil ends or hooks
• Rattling or excess movement in the assembly where the spring should hold firm

• Confirm your appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
• Check the spring already fitted against manufacturer code 4034608 to be sure it matches.
• Inspect any seals, gaskets or retaining clips disturbed during access and renew them if they show wear.
