If your Magic Chef refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start with the most likely cause: inspect the tube or hose for cracks or holes and replace any damaged tubing. Next, check the door assembly for cracks or damage that could affect seals or alignment, even though that is less common. A defective control board assembly is another frequent culprit when the coffee maker dispenses too much water; a stuck relay can keep voltage on the water inlet valve so the valve stays open. Also verify the K-Cup is seated and the piercing pins are not clogged, since an unpierced pod or blocked pin can let water run out. A failing control board (separate board listings do appear) may show burn marks or shorts and should be diagnosed before swapping parts. Finally, inspect the coffee container for cracks or holes.

03 - Magic Chef 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.
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.
