SCREW

Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. If the machine is showing fasteners not holding, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Screw is a replacement component listed as part 03-0571-00 for ice machines. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.

Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.
