If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start with the parts that usually fail. A cracked coffee maker container is the single most likely cause, so inspect the tank for holes and replace it if it leaks. Next check the control board assembly, which can stick closed and keep the inlet valve energized so the coffee maker overfills. After that inspect the dispenser hose or tube for cracks or pinholes, then evaluate the control board and the K-Cup piercing pins or ports, which can leak if they are clogged or not piercing fully. A damaged door assembly is less common but worth a look if the other parts check out. This kind of fridge leaking water or refrigerator dispenser leaking water is often fixed by replacing the container, hose, valve or board, not the whole unit.

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.
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.
