What it is

The Ideal 179076 is a 24-hour mechanical timer supplied for Ideal Independent and Independent+ combi boilers. It sits in the boiler's control fascia and switches the heating and hot water on and off according to a set daily schedule. The timer is driven by a mechanical dial rather than a digital circuit, so the switching periods are set by hand using the pins or segments around the dial face.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler does not switch on or off at the times set on the dial.
  • The dial fails to advance, so the programme stalls at one point in the day.
  • Heating or hot water runs continuously regardless of the timer setting.
  • Turning the dial by hand produces no switching action from the boiler.
  • Switching times drift or become erratic between cycles.

Before you order

  • Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list to confirm the correct timer for your model.
  • Confirm the part number 179076 or the alternative number 8904430 before ordering.
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
