TOOTHED LOCKWASHERS

Toothed Lockwashers is a replacement component listed as part 03-1417-13 for ice machines. Symptoms can present as wet-floor complaints, intermittent operation, abnormal noise, or a cycle that won’t complete normally—depending on where this part sits in the system. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. 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. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. 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.

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.
