What it is
The Ideal 179045 is a control knob supplied as a potentiometer blank, used on Ideal Logic Max Heat commercial and domestic heating appliances. It forms the user-facing part of the potentiometer assembly, letting the engineer or end user turn the control spindle to adjust the appliance setting. This is a non-gas component, so it can be replaced without breaking into the gas-carrying sections of the boiler.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The knob turns freely on the spindle without changing the appliance setting
- The knob has cracked, split or broken away from its centre boss
- The control feels loose, wobbly or will not sit flush against the fascia
- The knob has come off the spindle completely and will not grip when refitted
- The pointer or marking on the knob has worn away so the setting cannot be read
Before you order
- Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list to confirm the correct variant
- Confirm the existing knob is the potentiometer blank type before ordering
- Note the alternative part number 1783181, which may appear on older documentation or labels
