If your Inglis refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start by checking the coffee container — a cracked or split container is listed as the most likely cause. Next look at the control board assembly, which can send continuous voltage to the water valve and overfill the brewer. Inspect the tube or hose to the dispenser for cracks or holes, since damaged lines are also a common source of refrigerator leaking water. A K-Cup that was not pierced or a clogged piercing pin can let water spill during brewing, and a failing control board can intermittently keep the inlet valve open. A damaged door assembly is rarely the cause but worth a quick look if seals or mounts are broken. Before swapping electronics, confirm the valve operates and isolate the leak to container, hose, or valve.

Although it is not a common cause, a damaged door assembly could be causing the refrigerator coffee maker to leak. Inspect the door for any cracks or damage and replace if required.
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.
