A handyman just replaced the faucet in my kitchen sink. One of the valves under the sink controls the water line that supplies the refrigerator (which is behind you when you stand facing the sink). After the new faucet was working and all the valves reopened, the drinking water dispenser in the refrigerator door is down to a trickle and, after a few seconds, stops entirely. It doesn't help to press the bar that calls for water for a minute or more.

The new faucet was flushed before using, and the water was indeed dirty for the first 15 seconds or so. Is it possible that some of the same sediment wound up in the line that supplies the fridge? If so, how can *it* be flushed? If not, what else might be causing this problem?

Thanks!

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
