The Ideal 176432 Control Thermistor Return is a boiler temperature sensor designed to monitor the return flow temperature of the water in compatible Ideal boilers. This thermistor changes its electrical resistance in response to temperature, allowing the boiler’s main control board to determine whether more or less heat output is necessary based on actual return temperatures. The control board uses this data as part of its decision‑making process for ignition, modulation, and safety cut‑offs, helping to maintain stable heat delivery and prevent overheating or inefficient running. Because the thermistor operates within a high‑heat, moisture‑exposed environment, it is made with materials that resist degradation from temperature cycling and moisture ingress. Over time, sensors like this can become inaccurate or fail due to wear, corrosion, or thermal stress, which may lead to poor temperature regulation or unwarranted fault codes. Replacing a worn control thermistor with this genuine Ideal part restores accurate temperature feedback, supports optimal boiler control, and helps maintain efficient, safe operation of the heating system.

Standard delivery for all orders over £150 ex-VAT are free of charge.
If we can speed this up, we will, but you can also select Express Delivery when you check out and get your purchase more quickly (usually the next working day, subject to a 1pm cut-off): there is an extra charge for this ranging from £5 to £29.99 depending on the products you are buying.
We partner with several of the best UK carriers (such as TNT, Royal Mail, DPD etc) depending on the type of product and the warehouse it is coming from, and also with some pallet companies for larger items. All of these operate during normal Monday – Friday working hours, and we expect all deliveries to arrive in 5 days. For more details checkout this page.
For all Gledhill Cylinders, a flat delivery charge of £33.00 (ex-VAT) applies, regardless of order value or delivery method. This will be added automatically at checkout.
Having to return a product because it doesn’t fit, or is not what you wanted, is really annoying! To try and make sure this isn’t necessary we have lots of helpful advice on our site, and you should feel free to call our experts on the number above to check if you are in any doubt at all – we’re always happy to help.
But if you do, don’t worry, just contact us and we’ll get it sorted (note that for trade customers there may be a restocking fee). If you need it, we can usually arrange the carrier to pick it up.
