HEX CAP SCREW

Hex Cap Screw is a replacement component listed as part 03-1405-45 for ice machines. If the machine is showing vibration rattles, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. After replacement, run at least one full cycle and recheck for leaks, vibration noise, and anything that loosens during operation. 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. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. 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.
