BALL STUD

Ball Stud is sold under part number 03-1733-01 for ice maker service and maintenance work. This replacement component supports normal operation by restoring fit, sealing, alignment, or control behavior. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. Once the root cause is corrected, performance should stabilize and output should return to normal. Replace this part when you see inconsistent operation, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. After replacement, run at least one full cycle and recheck for leaks, vibration noise, and anything that loosens during operation. 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. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
