I encountered the same thing with the Home Despot LG low temperature 
model.  I ended up putting the pipe in place and then putting a sheet 
metal screw through the plastic tab on the end so that you have to unscrew 
the screw in order to remove the pipe.

Works OK, have not had the bucket fill up while I wasn't looking or the 
pipe leak all over the floor since my fix.  I am sure the plastic will 
break given time and I will be back to square one.
