WASHER

Seals, gaskets, and washers prevent leaks at joints and interfaces. Once compressed or torn, drips often return even after re-tightening. Symptoms can present as leaks, intermittent operation, abnormal noise, or a cycle that won’t complete normally—depending on where this part sits in the system. After replacement, run at least one full cycle and recheck for leaks, vibration noise, and anything that loosens during operation. Washer is sold under part number 03-1729-02 for ice maker service and maintenance work. 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. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period. 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.
