TOOTHED LOCKWASHERS

Stopping a persistent leak usually means replacing the sealing surface, not just tightening hardware. Toothed Lockwashers is a replacement component listed as part 03-1417-14 for ice machines. Replace this part when you see wet-floor complaints, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. If the fault changes with vibration or after moving panels, look for borderline fitment, loose connectors, or wear marks around the installation area. 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. 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.
