Mary June 23, 2016 for Model Number KSRB27FHBL02 I have an RO system installed and would like to bypass my refrigerator filter. The dealer tells me there is not a bypass plug for this model but when I remove the filter it leaks. Is this model designed for a bypass plug and if not, why does it leak? Thanks
