I replaced mine easily... Find the drain tray inside the frig and you can then pull the drain hole collar/nipple out. Work on it gently, but you can get it out. Once it's loose, just pull it all the way out along with the old tube. Get a new vinyl hose which won't deteriorate, that will fit snug on the nipple. Feed the new hose into the hole until the nipple is back in the hole. You may need a dab of sealant to secure it; mine did not not. From the outside with the panel removed you can see the new hose and route it where you need it. Trim the excess length and you'll never need another hose.
