What it is
The Ideal 178172 is a heat engine body insulation moulding for Ideal Commercial appliances. It is shaped to sit around the heat engine body, retaining heat in the combustion and heat transfer zone so the appliance reaches and holds its designed operating temperature. Keeping that heat where it belongs also helps limit radiated heat at the casing and protects surrounding components from prolonged thermal exposure.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Cracking, crumbling or delamination of the insulation surface
- Insulation sagging, split or detached from the heat engine body
- Localised scorching, charring or discolouration
- Damp staining or water damage to the insulation
- Heat escaping around the heat engine, with higher than expected casing temperatures
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Inspect the heat engine body and any adjacent seals while the insulation is removed
