SPRING

Spring is a replacement component listed as part 03-1731-03 for ice machines. Brackets, gussets, clamps, and fasteners keep assemblies aligned under vibration. Loose mounting leads to noise and repeat failures. Symptoms can present as loose parts, intermittent operation, abnormal noise, or a cycle that won’t complete normally—depending on where this part sits in the system. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. Use part number 03-1731-03 as the primary identifier, compare the replacement to the original, and install with careful alignment and routing. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. 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. 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. 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.
