The heck with my appliance dealer. I found the part in stock at the Sears Parts Warehouse in Richmond. It was even 30.00 cheaper. It was a 50 mile drive and 1.5 hours of time but well worth it. The part is now installed on the refrigerator and the ice maker is turned on with the fridge pulled. In a couple of hours after a couple of cycles of cubes I'll make sure it isn't leaking and then put the fridge back in its travelling spot.
There is a newer version of the part that does not have two threaded adapters for the tubing. The only one threaded now is the water feed coming in. The line going from the solenoid to the ice maker is no longer threaded and the tube slips into the solenoid until it clicks. In the picture I posted about the blue threaded area is no longer on the part.
Total time to replace (not counting the time to fetch the part was less than an hour.
