What it is
The Ideal mains voltage harness (part number 178156) is the wiring loom that carries mains supply around the appliance, linking the incoming supply to the control components inside the casing. It is manufactured by Ideal for use on Ideal Commercial Imax XEL appliances. The harness is supplied as a complete assembly with its connectors fitted, so it can be swapped as a single unit rather than repaired wire by wire.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The appliance fails to power up, or power is intermittent when the casing is disturbed
- Visible damage to the loom: cracked, brittle or chafed insulation, or exposed conductor
- Discolouration, scorching or a burning smell around the harness connectors or terminals
- Loose, corroded or heat-damaged pins that will not seat properly in their plugs
- Repeated faults traced to the mains supply side of the control circuit during diagnosis
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the harness is specific to the Imax XEL range
- Compare the connector layout and pin count on the existing harness with the replacement before fitting
- Isolate the electrical supply and prove dead before removing or refitting any wiring
