Jenn-Air 48" wide with door water/ice dispenser has a cracked (broken off now) waterline where the line comes out of the bottom of the door (actually where it comes out of the gray plastic conduit or whatever it's called - see red circle in pic). I thought the line could be replaced based on other articles/videos I found but it appears the door shells for this unit cannot be separated (at least I can't figure it out). It's odd they cannot separate as there are whirlpool replacement part numbers for the outside and inside shell as well as the insulation in between.
Anyway, a fix that I figured might work is to splice a new line in halfway down inside the gray conduit (blue circle in second pic). Pretty sure there is no room for a John Guest coupler in the conduit so thought maybe try a glued waterline splice (larger poly sleeve over the original poly) similar to the splice suggested in this Kitchenaid thread https://www.applianceblog.com/mainf...perba-water-line-dispenser-replacement.86356/.

Has anyone tried splicing a waterline this way and if so, what glue did you use?
Thanks,
Dave
