While cleaning our KitchenAid KSCS25FJSS01 evaporator tray, I noticed that our water filter inlet line was weeping water and, fortunately, it was dripping directly into the tray. If the weep increased in flow, it may have started dripping on to the floor. I looked up the water filter housing, which had part number 2199840 that has since been replaced by WP2199840; however, local parts houses want about $150 plus tax for the darn thing. I figured the housing inlet and outlet quick-connects had failed and fortunately 97ktmduke shows how to repair/rebuild the existing housing.
I found a similar SharkBite adapter at Menards and, this evening, I’ll be using it to replace the existing o-rings at least than an order of magnitude of the price.
** UPDATE 8-7-2024 **
Worked like a charm, the KitchenAid’s water filter and ice machine are back in business!

Fix is still working great and helped avoid purchasing most or all of these parts:
2199840 – filter housing
2209707 – tubing, filter inlet
2203127 – tubing, filter outlet
