Gibson Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, you probably have a cracked or damaged tube or hose feeding the brewer; start by inspecting that hose for holes or splits and replace it if needed. Less commonly a damaged door assembly can let water escape around the dispenser, but more likely causes to check next are a faulty control board or control board assembly that keeps the inlet or dispensing valve energized, clogged or unpierced K-Cup pins that allow water to spill, or a cracked coffee container or reservoir. Before replacing electronics, confirm the dispensing valve is functioning and rule out simple fixes like cleaning the K-Cup pins with a paper clip or swapping a suspect hose or container. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hose, container, valve, control board, or door parts that fit your refrigerator and get it fixed right the first time.

03 - Gibson 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 - Gibson Refrigerator Control Board

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
