Use part number 03-1418-15 when ordering Flat Head Screw for a repair—especially when the symptom points to this section of the machine. If the machine is showing loose parts, 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.
