Hardwick Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your Hardwick refrigerator coffee maker is leaking water behind the dispenser, start with the parts most likely to fail: inspect the coffee maker container for cracks or holes, since a damaged container is the single most common culprit, then check the dispenser tubing and hose for splits or pinholes that let water escape. If the container and hoses are sound, the next likely cause is over-dispensing caused by a faulty control board or control board assembly that keeps voltage on the water inlet valve and leaves it open, so look for burned components and test the valve. A clogged or unpierced K-Cup pin can spill water too, and you can often clear it with a paper clip. A damaged door assembly is less common but worth checking for cracks or misalignment that route water where it should not go. Whether you need a container, hose, inlet valve, control board or other part, enter your refrigerator model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your fridge and get back to fixing the leak.

Top Solution
03 - Hardwick 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
05 - Hardwick Refrigerator Control Board

You can inspect the control board 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 inlet valve is functioning normally before considering a control board replacement.
