The icermake works fine, but the flap is allowing the outside atmosphere to get in and icing up the icemaker so the it will not dispense easily. Is there some way to reconnect the flapper which is attached but easily moved by hand? It needs to seal the dispensing shoot properly so as not to ice-up. Thanks

A little worried about prying off the front. Any suggestions how to do that without damaging?
