Dacor Refrigerator coffee maker leaking

If your Dacor refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, the first thing to check is the tube or hose that feeds the brewer. A cracked or pinholed hose is the top cause of a refrigerator leaking water and is easy to spot and replace. Next look at the control board or control board assembly, which can stick or short and keep voltage on the inlet/dispensing valve so the coffee maker dispenses too much water. Also check the K-Cup pins and pod seating; a pod that is not pierced or clogged pins will let water leak out of the brew area. Less commonly, inspect the door assembly for cracks or damage that could route water where it should not go, and examine the coffee maker container for hairline cracks. If you need parts, enter your model number at RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hose, valve, container, control board, or door parts that fit your fridge and stop the dispenser from leaking.

03 - Dacor 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.
