SCREW

Part 03-1638-01 corresponds to Screw and is commonly purchased for ice maker repairs when the original component can’t be reused. If the machine is showing vibration rattles, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. If the fault changes with vibration or after moving panels, look for borderline fitment, loose connectors, or wear marks around the installation area. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Brackets, gussets, clamps, and fasteners keep assemblies aligned under vibration. Loose mounting leads to noise and repeat failures. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. 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. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
