Refrigerator water pressure low since water heater was replaced

We just got our water heater replaced, and ever since then the water pressure from the refrigerator is very low and it barely produces any ice.

I've replaced the water filter. The water pressure returned to normal for a couple minutes. But now it's back to slow-flow mode, and I'd like to get this fixed.

Had a plumber come out yesterday and he gave me a $350 estimate to replace the water line. Before I move forward on this, just wanted to ask: a) is this a common problem after a water heater replacement; b) does this price seem reasonable; and c) is it possible the low water pressure is related to an issue w/the refrigerator?

Any assistance/advice that can be provided here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
