Been taping it together each time it broke the last few years. This year it basically disintegrated each time I touched it. Thought it was just breaking at the bottom. But found it was actually broken off at the spout that comes out the rear of the fridge. Don't know how long that has been broke off since it up where you cannot really see it.
Thought I was looking at pulling the fridge. But with a little luck managed to replace it with 1/2" ID clear plastic tubing by reaching thru the outside vents. That was a relief to figure that one out.
Now all repairs are done for the season and I guess I can put her to bed after winterizing.
