    Water line to toilet frozen?
    I think the water line to my toilet is frozen. Is it odd that that is the only thing frozen? I've never heard of it. And how do I resolve this if I cant access pipes.

    It may not be frozen at all. If you put your hand on the pipe does it feel frozen ? Is your bathroom heated ? It may just be some blockage from the lines. Rust can clog the pipe and cause it to run slow or stop altogether. If you have water pressure everywhere else in the bathroom then try removing the line from the toilet valve. See if you have flow or ice after removing it. Also be sure to turn the valve off prior to making and changes or adjustments to the line.

    It could be frozen but it would be quite rare for it to be the only line, it taps off the cold line to you sink. Try what cdad suggests, it could also be a stuck or failed fill valve.

    You must first verify if the line is frozen, and not just a malfunction of the toilet parts like the fill valve. Have you checked your toilet parts?

    How do I remove the line from the toilet valve? The cold and hot water both work everywhere else in the house.

    Close the angle stop(shut off) at the toilet. Unscrew the hose from the bottom of the fill valve in the toilet. Bend the hose down into a bucket and slowly open the angle stop. Water? If so, you most likely have a clogged fill valve. If no, could be a frozen line or clogged angle stop.

    Still nothing. I guess I should probably call a plumber or something since I don't really know what I'm doing. So I don't mess it up worse. Thank you all.
