Expert Review
It's amazing how a tiny part like this butterfly washer can bring a whole ice machine to a halt. If your Polar T316, T317, or T318 has started leaking internally or the ice cycle is failing, a worn washer is often the culprit. It's a doddle to replace – a simple fix that gets you back up and running in minutes.
Installation & Maintenance
- Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
- Note the orientation of the old washer before removing.
- Ensure the area is clean and dry before fitting.
- Double-check for a tight, secure fit after installation.
