Refrigerators still made in the USA in 2026 include GE Appliances, Whirlpool Corporation brands, and Frigidaire select models, though many components are globally sourced. GE Appliances, owned by Haier but manufactured in Decatur, Alabama and Selmer, Tennessee, makes many top-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators in Decatur, Alabama plant with about 1,300 workers, models like GTE18GMHES and GSS25GSHSS. Whirlpool Corporation, headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan, makes refrigerators in Amana, Iowa and other US plants under brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, and Amana, including many French door and side-by-side models. Frigidaire, owned by Electrolux, makes some refrigerators in Anderson, South Carolina. Sub-Zero makes premium built-in refrigerators in Madison, Wisconsin. True Residential makes luxury refrigerators in Missouri. However, many refrigerator brands like LG, Samsung, Bosch are imported from South Korea, Mexico, and China. Even US-made refrigerators contain imported compressors and electronics. To ensure US-made, look for label saying Made in USA and check model number at retailer. Buying US-made supports domestic jobs and often provides better parts availability like control boards and compressors with service rates around 8 to 12 percent. Most budget refrigerators are imported, while mid-range and premium US-made models cost 800 to 2,500 dollars.
