Admiral Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your Admiral refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start by checking the hose or tube that feeds the dispenser—cracks or holes in that line are the most common cause and easy to spot. Next check the door assembly for any damage that could misroute water or stress fittings. A defective control board or control board assembly is a likely electrical cause; a stuck relay can keep voltage on the water inlet valve so the valve never closes. Also inspect the coffee container and K-Cup pins: a cracked container will leak, and an unclipped or clogged piercing pin can let water run out instead of through the pod. Before you replace a board, confirm the inlet valve is actually working and there are no visible cracks in hoses or the container. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your refrigerator, including hoses, dispenser valves, containers, replacement control boards, and coffee maker components.

03 - Admiral 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
