Caloric Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your Caloric refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, you can usually find the problem without calling a pro. Start by checking the tube or hose that feeds the dispenser for cracks or holes, since a damaged hose is the most likely culprit. Next inspect the door assembly for obvious damage, then look at the control board assembly or control board itself; a shorted or burned board can keep voltage on the water inlet valve so it never fully closes. Also check the K-Cup pins and pod seating, because an unclipped or clogged pin can let water spill. Finally inspect the coffee container for cracks. These checks cover the common causes of refrigerator leaking water and refrigerator dispenser leaking water and will tell you whether you need a replacement hose, valve, container, or control board. On RepairClinic.com you can enter your model number to find the exact replacement part that fits your fridge and follow repair instructions to fix it yourself.

03 - Caloric 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
