Americana Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, it is usually caused by a cracked or damaged tube or hose—inspect those first and replace any that have holes. A damaged door assembly can also let water escape, so check the door for cracks or misalignment next. Control board problems, including a faulty control board assembly that keeps voltage on the water valve and allows continuous flow, are a possible cause and should be inspected for burn marks or shorts after you rule out hoses and door issues. Less commonly, a K-Cup that is not pierced or clogged pins will let water run out, and you can clean the pins with a paper clip. Other control board faults or a cracked coffee maker container are less likely but still possible.

03 - Americana 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 - Americana Refrigerator Control Board
If the refrigerator coffee maker is leaking, it's possible the coffee maker is dispensing too much water.

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
