NON-METALLIC WASHER

Symptoms can present as water intrusion, 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. Part 03-1409-21 corresponds to Non Metallic Washer and is commonly purchased for ice maker repairs when the original component can’t be reused. Stopping a persistent leak usually means replacing the sealing surface, not just tightening hardware. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.

If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period. 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. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.
