It's been that way for decades. I've got a 27yo Kitchen Aid refrigerator that was proudly "made in USA", Michigan I think. Probably the single most "valuable" part, the compressor, was made in Brazil of all places.
I'm shopping for a replacement refrigerator just now. It seems the typical for today 10-15yr life mentioned elsewhere is intentional in that older refrigerators are less efficient and it has been determined that they should be replaced as a matter of routine at that point. IOW, the design life of refrigerators has been reduced to ~10yrs because of continuing technology improvements.
