E-Wave Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser and leaving water under the unit, start by checking the coffee container for cracks or holes—this is often the culprit. Next inspect the small tubing and hoses that feed the dispenser for splits or pinholes that let water escape. A control board or control board assembly that leaves voltage on the water inlet valve can also cause continuous flow and leaks, so look for burned components and confirm the valve is closing. Less obvious but still common causes include a K-Cup pod not pierced properly or clogged piercing pins, which lets water spray out, and, rarely, damage to the door assembly around the dispenser. If you find a cracked container, split hose, faulty valve, or a bad board, you can order the replacement parts you need at RepairClinic.com. Enter your refrigerator model number on the site to see parts that fit your exact fridge and get diagrams and repair steps to fix the leak.

03 - E-Wave 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 - E-Wave 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.
