RETAINING RING

Retaining Ring is a replacement component listed as part 03-1363-00 for ice machines. This replacement component supports normal operation by restoring fit, sealing, alignment, or control behavior. Replace this part when you see wear, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. If the fault changes with vibration or after moving panels, look for borderline fitment, loose connectors, or wear marks around the installation area. A short post-repair check—visual inspection plus a full cycle—helps confirm the issue is resolved without introducing new leaks or noise. Once the root cause is corrected, performance should stabilize and output should return to normal. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. 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.

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. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces.
