LIP SEAL

Seals and gaskets prevent seepage at joints and interfaces. Once they flatten or tear, leaks tend to return even after re-tightening. Part 02-2978-01 (Lip Seal) is a replacement component commonly sourced for ice machine maintenance. Depending on placement, failure may show up as water intrusion, intermittent operation, noise, or a cycle that won’t complete normally. A solid troubleshooting approach is to confirm the symptom, then check alignment, connections, and any related hoses or wiring in the same area. If the listing provides compatibility tools, verify fitment before checkout to avoid avoidable downtime. A quick visual after the first cycle can catch small leaks before they become a mess. Double-check surrounding clamps and mounts so the new part isn’t stressed by misalignment. Double-check surrounding clamps and mounts so the new part isn’t stressed by misalignment. If the machine was down for a while, take the opportunity to clean the area around the repair. Double-check surrounding clamps and mounts so the new part isn’t stressed by misalignment.
