Estate Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser or leaving water on the floor, start by checking the hose or tube that feeds the dispenser — cracks or holes there are the most common cause of a refrigerator leaking water. Next, inspect the control board assembly and control board for burned components or shorts since a faulty board can keep the water inlet valve energized and allow continuous flow. A clogged or unpierced K-Cup pin is another frequent cause; if the pod is not pierced or the pins are clogged, water will spill instead of passing through the pod. Less commonly, a cracked coffee container or damaged door assembly can let water escape. Quick checks: look for visible cracks in hoses and the container, test the inlet valve operation, clean pins with a paper clip, and inspect the board for scorch marks. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hose, valve, container, control board, or dispenser parts for your fridge.

03 - Estate 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.
