TOOTHED LOCKWASHERS

Part 03-1417-09 corresponds to Toothed Lockwashers and is commonly purchased for ice maker repairs when the original component can’t be reused. If the machine is showing leaks, 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. 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. 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. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.
