Screw (PN 03-1611-01) supports ice machine service when wear, damage, or fitment issues are disrupting normal operation. If the machine is showing fasteners not holding, 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. Use part number 03-1611-01 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. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. 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. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.
