SPECIAL WASHER

When downtime matters, having the correct part number helps. Special Washer is identified as part 03-1408-29. Use part number 03-1408-29 as the primary identifier, compare the replacement to the original, and install with careful alignment and routing. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. Seals, gaskets, and washers prevent leaks at joints and interfaces. Once compressed or torn, drips often return even after re-tightening. If the machine is showing seepage, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. 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.
