SCREW

Brackets, gussets, clamps, and fasteners keep assemblies aligned under vibration. Loose mounting leads to noise and repeat failures. Replace this part when you see fasteners not holding, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Part 03-1638-07 corresponds to Screw and is commonly purchased for ice maker repairs when the original component can’t be reused. 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. 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.

Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.
