Roper Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start by checking the hose or tubing that feeds the brewer—cracks or holes in that line are the most common culprit. A damaged door assembly can allow parts to shift or seals to fail and is the next item to inspect, especially if the leak lines up with the door. A defective control board assembly can also cause over-dispensing by holding voltage to the water dispensing valve, so look for burned components and confirm the valve is closing. Small issues like a K-Cup not pierced properly or clogged piercing pins can let water run out during brewing, and a failing control board or inlet valve can produce similar symptoms by keeping the valve open. Less commonly, the coffee container itself will have a crack or hole that leaks. You can diagnose these parts visually and by testing the valve operation, and when you know which part you need enter your refrigerator model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your unit.

03 - Roper 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.
