Hello,
Just purchased my first house and it has beautiful wood floors in the
kitchen. This concerns me a little when it comes to refrigerator
leaks. I know there are drip pans in the refrigerator but have read
that leaking is still a common problem due to various issues. Just
wondering if there was a solution in laying something down underneath
the refrigerator just in case there was external leaking? Maybe some
sort of thin plastic mat or similar? A new refrigerator is being
delivered at the end of this month and wanted to have something in
place just in case.

I don't have a solution, but don't let anyone tell you it isn't a problem.
My floor is messed up in front of the fridge and the dishwasher.
Thanks!

I was going to say don't worry since my mom's house has had oak
flooring in the kitchen for ~20 years. And my kitchen has had oak for
10 years....only moisture problem is near the outside slider....finish
has taken beating from water

Maybe the moisture trouble is geographic location specific?

no moisture problems but high heels sure have take a toll........

cheers
