FLAT HEAD SCREWS

Use part number 03-1418-07 when ordering Flat Head Screws for a repair—especially when the symptom points to this section of the machine. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. If the machine is showing fasteners not holding, 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. Use part number 03-1418-07 as the primary identifier, compare the replacement to the original, and install with careful alignment and routing. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. 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.
