I'm converting a smaller, but full-size fridge to a fermentation chamber and hit my first major obstacle that I haven't found on any formus. Beside the compressor, there is what looks like a black rubber stopper that all the wiring goes into on its way to the thermostat (pictures below). I want to remove it and the wiring, but I can't. I'm starting to think it doesn't come out, and that the entire conduit that the wiring runs through is filled. That's what it feels like. Believe me, I have REEFED on this thing. I've used some vice grips, tried to pry it off with a flathead screwdriver, and it does not move.
Does anyone have some advice so that I can start moving forward?
