I ordered the water filters this morning and turned down the temp in the refrigerator. I have allocated some time tonight to pull our the refigerator and check the water supply and to verify the lines aren't frozen. If those don't seem to be the problem my friend is going to swing buy to help me check the solenoids on the inlet valve. I sure hope it's easy to find and fix.
Based on the schematic from the sears part site I believe this is the correct inlet valve for my refrigerator. $70.00 is a little more than I want to spend right now however if I need it and I can fix it then I'll get it.

Can I ask you guys another question or two? There is very little chance that both solenoids would go bad at once? That being said, if the water is flowing good through the water supply, I change the filter, the water lines aren't frozen, is that really the ONLY part could be causing the problem?
This looks like an easy repair based on the fact that I've opened Apple Power Mac 8500's before.
Thanks for everyone's input.
