Kelvinator Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your Kelvinator’s built-in coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start with the obvious: inspect the tube or hose that feeds the dispenser for cracks or holes, since a damaged hose is the most likely culprit. Next check the door assembly for any damage, because a cracked or warped dispenser door can allow leaks even though that is less common. A faulty control board assembly is another likely cause, since a shorted board can keep voltage on the water valve and let water flow continuously. Also check the K-Cup area: if the pod is not pierced or the pins are clogged the coffee maker can leak during brewing. The main control board can cause similar symptoms if it fails to shut the inlet valve, and finally inspect the coffee container for cracks or holes. If you need replacement parts, enter your model number at RepairClinic.com to find the exact hose, valve, container, board, or dispenser parts that fit your refrigerator and get step by step repair help.

03 - Kelvinator 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
