Electrolux Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your Electrolux refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start by checking the coffee maker container for cracks or holes — a damaged container is often the culprit. Next inspect the tube or hose that carries water to the dispenser; small splits or loose fittings leak easily and are an easy replace. A faulty control board or control board assembly can also cause continuous voltage to the water inlet valve, keeping it open and flooding the coffee maker, so look for burned components or a valve that never closes. Less commonly, a K-Cup not pierced fully or clogged piercing pins will allow water to spill, and a damaged door assembly can sometimes contribute to leaks. Work through those checks in that order and replace the failed part to stop the leak. If you need the correct replacement, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your refrigerator and get step-by-step repair guidance to fix a fridge leaking water from the coffee maker.

03 - Electrolux Refrigerator Control Board Assembly
If the refrigerator coffee maker is leaking, it's possible the coffee maker is dispensing too much water. This can be caused by a defective control board assembly continuing to allow voltage to be sent to the water dispensing valve, keeping the valve open. You can inspect the board assembly for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You should first confirm there are no cracks or holes in the coffee maker container or hoses connected to the dispenser, as well as determine the dispensing valve is functioning normally before considering a control board assembly replacement.
Highly Likely
04 - K-Cup pod Is not pierced or pin is clogged
If the K-Cup pod is not pushed down firmly, the lower pin may not pierce through the pod. If the pins are clogged or not piercing all the way through the K-Cup, water may leak from the coffee maker. If the upper or lower pins are clogged, they can be cleaned with a paper clip.
Common
