RCA Refrigerator coffee maker leaking
If your RCA refrigerator coffee maker is leaking behind the dispenser, start by checking the coffee container first — a cracked or punctured container is often the actual source of a leak. Next look at the control board or control board assembly, which can stick open and keep voltage applied to the water inlet or dispensing valve so water keeps flowing. Inspect the dispenser tube and hoses for cracks or pinholes, since a damaged hose is another likely culprit. Also check the K-Cup pins and pod seating; an unclipped or clogged pierce pin can let water spray or run out during brewing. A damaged door assembly is less common but can route water where it does not belong. These are the typical causes when a refrigerator is leaking water around the coffee dispenser, and the same checks apply if your fridge is leaking water from the dispenser area. Enter your model number at RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement container, hose, inlet valve, control board, or dispenser parts that fit your refrigerator and get back to brewing without the mess.

03 - RCA 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
