What it is

The thermostat pocket is a Worcester Bosch component that holds the boiler thermostat sensor in position and keeps it in contact with the water in the appliance, so the control can read temperature accurately. It is used across the Worcester Boilerhouse and Danesmoor oil boiler ranges. The pocket is supplied under part number 87161402450 and carries GC number 173-077.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Boiler temperature reads noticeably high or low against the actual flow temperature
  • The thermostat control has little or no effect on how the boiler fires
  • Boiler short cycles or locks out on overheat
  • Scale, corrosion or pitting visible on the pocket where the sensor sits
  • Sensor sits loose in the pocket and readings become unstable

Before you order

  • Check the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Where the older number ZBUNC020 is marked on the existing part, 87161402450 is the number to order.
  • Confirm the thermostat sensor seats correctly in the new pocket before reassembly.
  • Work on oil boiler temperature controls should be carried out by a competent engineer.
