SCREW

Use part number 03-1404-12 when ordering Screw for a repair—especially when the symptom points to this section of the machine. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. A short post-repair check—visual inspection plus a full cycle—helps confirm the issue is resolved without introducing new leaks or noise. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Replace this part when you see loose parts, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
