U-Line Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your U-Line refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, the most likely cause is a cracked or holey tube or hose feeding the brewer, so start by inspecting and replacing any damaged tubing. Less common causes include a damaged door assembly that lets water track where it should not, and a faulty control board or control board assembly that keeps voltage applied to the inlet or dispensing valve so water keeps flowing. Also check the K-Cup pins and holder; if a pod is not fully pierced or a pin is clogged, water can escape instead of flowing through the pod. Finally, inspect the coffee container for cracks or holes. Walk through those checks in that order: hose, door, valve operation and control board, K-Cup piercing, then container. If you need a replacement part, enter your refrigerator model number at RepairClinic.com to see the exact hose, valve, control board, container, or door parts that fit your unit and get back to fixing it quickly.

03 - U-Line 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 - U-Line Refrigerator Control Board
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 continuing to allow voltage to be sent to the water inlet valve, keeping the valve open. 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.
Common
06 - U-Line Refrigerator Container
