FLAT HEAD SCREWS

Use part number 03-1418-24 when ordering Flat Head Screws for a repair—especially when the symptom points to this section of the machine. A short post-repair check—visual inspection plus a full cycle—helps confirm the issue is resolved without introducing new leaks or noise. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. Symptoms can present as loose parts, intermittent operation, abnormal noise, or a cycle that won’t complete normally—depending on where this part sits in the system. After replacement, run at least one full cycle and recheck for leaks, vibration noise, and anything that loosens during operation. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.
