Montgomery Wards Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start by checking the hose or tube for cracks or holes — a damaged line is the most common cause of refrigerator leaking water around the dispenser. Next check the control board or control board assembly, which can send continuous voltage to the water inlet valve and keep it open, causing steady leaks. Also inspect the K-Cup pins and holder; a pod that is not pierced or pins clogged will let water spill instead of flowing into the cup. Look over the coffee container for cracks or holes, and give the door assembly a quick once-over since damage there can sometimes route water where it should not go. These quick checks will tell you whether you need a replacement tube, inlet valve, control board, container, or door part. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement for your refrigerator dispenser and stop the fridge leaking water.

03 - Montgomery Wards 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.
