Subject:      More Fridge Service
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

    In my report on servicing my fridge I forgot to mention one thing.  I
found the exhaust pipe cracked, where it bends to go through the van's wall,
when I removed the fridge.  So how to repair that crack was the question.  I
was about to pull out the mig welder but kept thinking it would probably just
melt a bigger hole.  Then thought about muffler cement, but the crack was way
too wide, soooooo I came up with this plan.  Since the crack was in-between
one of the pleats of the accordion style pipe I took a piece of coat hanger
wire and cut and bent it to fit in the groove all the way round so it was
nice and tight.  That filled in the crack just dandy.  Then I applied the
muffler cement and lit up the fridge to harden the cement.  Seems to have
worked just perfect ......so far.  Guess we'll see how long that repair holds
up.
