RETAINING RING

Use part number 03-1558-04 when ordering Retaining Ring for a repair—especially when the symptom points to this section of the machine. If the machine is showing leaks, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Even simple parts can cause major downtime when they loosen, leak, or interfere with movement. 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. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.
