TOOTHED LOCKWASHERS

Use part number 03-1417-12 when ordering Toothed Lockwashers for a repair—especially when the symptom points to this section of the machine. If the machine is showing water intrusion, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. After replacement, run at least one full cycle and recheck for leaks, vibration noise, and anything that loosens during operation. A short post-repair check—visual inspection plus a full cycle—helps confirm the issue is resolved without introducing new leaks or noise. Once the root cause is corrected, performance should stabilize and output should return to normal. Seals, gaskets, and washers prevent leaks at joints and interfaces. Once compressed or torn, drips often return even after re-tightening. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. 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.
