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. Diagnosing fasteners not holding can come down to one worn component—Screw (part 03-1544-05) is a common replacement item. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. 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. 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. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.

If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
