SPECIAL WASHERS

Special Washers is sold under part number 03-1408-04 for ice maker service and maintenance work. Replace this part when you see leaks, 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. Seals, gaskets, and washers prevent leaks at joints and interfaces. Once compressed or torn, drips often return even after re-tightening. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. 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. 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.
