What it is
The Ideal 178174 is a left hand side panel belonging to the casing assembly of Ideal Commercial iMax XEL boilers. It forms the outer skin on the left side of the appliance, closing the casing and shielding the components housed behind it. Because it is a casing component rather than a combustion or hydraulic part, it is replaced when the original panel is dented, corroded or otherwise no longer serviceable.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Dents, creases or distortion visible across the panel face
- Rust or corrosion along the panel edges or around the fixing points
- The panel no longer sits flush, leaving gaps in the outer casing
- Fixings pulling through the panel or failing to hold it secure
- Casing damage spotted during a routine service or after moving the appliance
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list
- Check whether the left or right hand panel is the one required
- Inspect the existing fixings and any seals around the panel before refitting
