This is not bike related, but you guys have been so helpful in setting up my various ebikes, I'd figured I'd ask here. My fridge icemaker is not working and one of the solutions recommended in another site is to use a turkey baster to shoot hot water up this hose, which is pointing downward.

Of course, the baster wont fit in there as there is an obstruction/conduit so that water can pool and make the ice. Anyway, I'm looking for some flexible tubing that I can fit in there and possibly shoot some water in there to unclog that frozen spot. Who sells this tube? An aquarium store? Any ideas? I also thought about using some kind of wire that can heat up, but i don't want to burn the edges of this tubing which is some kind of plastic/rubber.

Thanks in advance.
 
Aquarium air hose might be the best bet. Hardware stores and home improvement mega stores often have clear tubing, but often in the larger sizes. They might not stock stuff that small.
