Well time for an update and a question.
Less than two years after my cooling unit came back from the repair guy my fridge stopped working.
He tried to troubleshoot the problem and was reluctant to blame the cooling unit but after everything else was eliminated the finger was pointing to the cooling unit.
So I'm getting ready to ship it back to the repair guy in a few days.

The pipe appears to be disintegrating.
Is this normal? When/how soon would this occur in a unit?
Thanks!
