Seals, gaskets, and washers prevent leaks at joints and interfaces. Once compressed or torn, drips often return even after re-tightening. If the machine is showing wet-floor complaints, 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. Washer is sold under part number 03-1702-02 for ice maker service and maintenance work. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. 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. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.
