Any help is appreciated in advance.
Before I call the plumber b/c I'm a plumbing novice. I thought I would search the internet and see what I can find out.
For some reason today my the cold water faucet in my kitchen sink is no longer working. The hot water flows just fine, but not the cold. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem, but we just bought a new refrigerator the day before. The old refrigerator just had an ice maker this one has an icemaker and dispenses water. Could the fridge be taking all of the water from the pipe that use to go to the sink. Can anyone help me in solving this mystery or give me things to check first. I would really like to fix this myself than to call a plumber.
Thank you guys.

twitherspoon, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
Is the connection for the frig above or below the shutoff valve for the sink? If it is below, shut off the valve and disconnect the supply line to the sink. Hold a rag over the top of the valve and turn it on and off 2 or 3 times. Some thing may have broke loose when you hooked up the frig and its blocking the line. Good luck.
