Woo-Hoo YouTube Appliance Plumbing Demos

I noticed last night that there was a wet spot on the floor at the edge of the refrigerator and thought that once again an errant ice cube had missed the cup and escaped. In a whimsical mood, I hoped that the ice cube did not think “Freedom” and then realize it was, well, you know, the M-word.

But this morning the spot was back again and after having been mopped and dried it got wet again. I could not figure where the water was coming from for there was no telling trail back to the refrigerator. When I reached down I felt the constant sprinkle of water; investigation revealed that the hose to the ice maker had developed a crack.

I looked on the Internet and discovered that for about three dollars I could buy a plastic coupling that would fix the problem once I cut the hole away. The hardware store had one and Cameron and I moved the refrigerator out and (oh, the dirt, but never mind) and did what the video showed and WE FIXED IT WITHOUT A PLUMBER! Thank you, YouTube.
