Title: V63 - Wire and Refrigeration Line Cover/Bracket Post by: CoolCat on October 12, 2010, 06:58:24 pm I was wondering what material should be used in the cover/bracket that the wires and refrigeration line runs through between the lower deck and the bottom of the tub. My bracket is quite corroded and has a dense, black, sponge-like material in it currently. This material is quite dirty and deteriorated in my unit. I would like to pull it out and clean/paint the bracket; however, I'm not sure with what I would replace it. Is there a standard part that goes in the bracket?
Thanks!

I have done the foam before. It makes a bit of a mess but it works. I rub a little baby or veg oil on the paint and anything else that you dont want it to stick to install the metal bracket and then spray in the foam. Then once it dries trim it to look nice and you can also paint it black or silver with a brush if you want to.

and you can find it at you local hardware (true Value or ace ) Title: Re: V63 - Wire and Refrigeration Line Cover/Bracket Post by: CoolCat on October 12, 2010, 08:23:52 pm Thanks, guys. I have a tub of plumber's putty in the garage already. I think I may go with that option since I already have it and it seems rather painless.
