TYPE A PLAIN WASHERS

Type a Plain Washers is sold under part number 03-1407-05 for ice maker service and maintenance work. Stopping a persistent leak usually means replacing the sealing surface, not just tightening hardware. Use part number 03-1407-05 as the primary identifier, compare the replacement to the original, and install with careful alignment and routing. Once the root cause is corrected, performance should stabilize and output should return to normal. Symptoms can present as seepage, intermittent operation, abnormal noise, or a cycle that won’t complete normally—depending on where this part sits in the system. After replacement, run at least one full cycle and recheck for leaks, vibration noise, and anything that loosens during operation. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period. 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.
