SCREW

For technicians troubleshooting fasteners not holding, Screw is a part that’s often inspected and replaced when failure is confirmed (part 03-1677-01). Brackets, gussets, clamps, and fasteners keep assemblies aligned under vibration. Loose mounting leads to noise and repeat failures. 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. 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. 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.
