I'd agree, but no harm in prevention if it's the age of the plastic that's the
problem...it looks like an $8 part. Actually, hot almost always wears out
first and especially for the plastic stuff. The heat causes much more reaction
or more expansion and contraction on rubbers and plastics, where the cold has
almost no reaction and things stay fairly stable.
