What it is
The Ideal 178179 is a casing assembly supplied as a pair, using Accuride runner hardware. It forms part of the outer casing arrangement on Ideal Commercial appliances, where the runners allow the casing panels to slide and be removed cleanly during servicing. The assembly is a non-gas component, so it sits outside the combustion and gas-carrying sections of the appliance.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Casing panels are stiff, gritty or jam when slid open or closed
- Runner tracks are bent, cracked or visibly worn through
- Casing panel will not sit flush or stay in position once closed
- Rattling or movement from the casing while the appliance is running
- Runner fixings have pulled free from the casing panel
Before you order
- Check the appliance data badge to confirm the model and, where shown, the GC number before ordering
- Confirm the existing casing runner arrangement matches the Accuride type used on your appliance
- Inspect the casing panels and fixings at the same time, as damaged panels can wear a new runner set quickly
- This is a non-gas component; any work inside the appliance casing should still be carried out by a competent, registered engineer
