The ALT Ignition Electrode 175591 is a non-branded compatible replacement component designed as an alternative to the original Ideal 175591 ignition electrode.
Also known as a boiler ignition electrode, spark electrode or ignition probe, this component is responsible for creating the spark required to ignite the burner during the boiler start-up sequence.
A worn, damaged or contaminated ignition electrode can cause ignition failure, intermittent boiler lockouts, poor start-up performance or repeated reset requirements. This compatible alternative is designed as a cost-effective replacement option for selected boilers using the original 175591 ignition electrode reference.
The ignition electrode is a key part of the boiler ignition sequence. It produces the spark needed to light the burner. If the electrode is cracked, worn, incorrectly positioned or contaminated, the boiler may fail to ignite or lock out during start-up.
Common signs of a faulty ignition electrode can include failed ignition, clicking without successful burner ignition, ignition-related fault codes, intermittent lockouts, repeated reset requirements or unreliable heating and hot water operation.
This part is intended as a compatible alternative for appliances using original part reference 175591. Compatibility can vary depending on the exact boiler model, GC number, production date and appliance version. Always compare the existing component and confirm suitability before ordering.
This is a non-branded compatible / alternative component. It is manufactured for use as an alternative to the original branded boiler part and will not be supplied in boiler manufacturer packaging.
Please note: Product appearance, finish and packaging may differ from the original branded part. Always confirm compatibility before fitting.
This boiler component should only be fitted by a suitably qualified heating engineer. Gas boiler servicing and repairs must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer in accordance with current UK regulations and the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
