Modern Maid Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start by checking the tube or hose that feeds the dispenser—cracks or holes in that hose are the most common culprit. A damaged door assembly can also let water run where it should not, though that is less common. Electronics are another likely cause: a faulty control board or control board assembly can keep voltage on the water valve so the dispenser overfills or stays open, so inspect the board for burned components and confirm the valve is functioning. Small, simple issues like a K-Cup not being pierced or a clogged piercing pin can let water escape instead of going through the pod. Less often the coffee container itself will be cracked and leaking. If you need parts to fix any of these issues, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your specific refrigerator. These checks will narrow the cause whether you have a fridge leaking water from the dispenser or a general refrigerator dispenser leaking water.

03 - Modern Maid 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 - Modern Maid Refrigerator Control Board
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 continuing to allow voltage to be sent to the water inlet valve, keeping the valve open. 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.
Common
06 - Modern Maid Refrigerator Container
The most likely cause of a refrigerator coffee maker leaking is a damaged container. Inspect the coffee maker container for any cracks or holes and replace if required.
