I'm assuming you propose to tap into the 12 volt source of the fridge. Not wiring internal to the fridge.
Most of the 6 cubic ft. two way refrigerators draw less than 3 amps DC, and if the climate control is off and the door light is off, it is less than a half amp on mine.
I'd ask the thread to be moved to tech issues for input. I'd determine the power consumption of the LED light string and post that. If it is an amp or two I see no issue. The other potential problem would be some kind of power supply noise if one exists on the LED light set. But if it is only drawing an amp or two I can't see how that could damage fridge circuit board.
