I removed the faucet from the tower of my Insignia kegerator to clean it. When putting it back on, I had to apply some force and the tower shifted. Apparently, the cheap plastic where the tower screws into the top of the fridge broke. Now the tower is loose and is letting the cold out. Any suggestions on a quick and cheap fix to reattach the tower to the fridge?
 
Is this the single faucet model with the twist-locked column?

[edit]
fwiw, Insignia kegerators are BestBuy-badged Danby units.
The single faucet draft arm assembly is part number 502999980006 for either badge and includes the tower and all lines.
The BestBuy affiliated parts center has the best price I can find on this (Danby sells it for $150 :eek:)

Yes. This is the single faucet model with the twist lock tower. It appears that the tower is fine. It is just the housing that is broken. I think I will try a repair job first. If it doesn't work, I will look into the part some more. Thank you for the info.
 
I say its a good opportunity for an upgrade...

I added a 3 tap tower like this on mine... http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Taps-Draf...636128?hash=item44064f4ba0:g:-rMAAOSwQWlZm5aK
I did replace the taps with better stainless units though that dont stick. but use the original shanks and springs.
I can squeeze 3 cornies into my danby kegerator...

I recently increased the beerline length to 11 ft on all three taps which helps with the beer coming out to quickly and foaming.
