Last winter I used a hair drier and patience when my hot water line froze - good luck !

Had this happen a couple of years ago, it was -20c outside. Ended up upping the temperature on everything inside from 22c to 30c to cope. Used a lot of electricity but the pipes thawed after a few hours from just heating the house more.

Open both hot and cold sides and let that space heater do its thing.

As long as nothing is leaking, you should be okay. Just keep an eye out when it starts to thaw, because ice doesn't leak though pipes obviously.

Thaw it out immediately. That ice is bad news.

Do not shock your pipes with heat. No heat guns, no torches. Thaw them out with a hairdryer, or small.spacw heater. Then find out why they froze and fix it.

I would unfreeze them as soon as possible. The B*tch of it is that ice expands, so just because it isn't broken now does not mean it won't be broken later. The expanding for of ice is unmatchable.
