What it is
The Ideal 178040 is a set of rear panels for the top section of an Ideal Commercial appliance. Manufactured by Ideal, these panels form part of the outer casing that encloses the upper rear of the unit, shielding internal components and helping maintain the intended airflow path around the heat exchanger and flue routes. The panels are supplied as a set, so every panel making up the top rear assembly arrives together for a single repair.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Visible corrosion or rust along the panel edges, seams or fixing points
- Heat distortion or warping of the top rear panels
- Panels that no longer sit flush or seat correctly against the casing
- Damaged or seized fixings that prevent the panel being refitted securely
- Deterioration around the top section that leaves internal components exposed
