I have seen news broadcasts on this topic and all the "white goods" are on b/o.
I don't remember why.

I'm sure some is China tariffs and shortages from virus closings. Even
assembled in USA has China made parts.



This refrigerator is comming out of Mexico from what I was told.

However it would not surprise me if some if not all parts come from
China and is just put together in Mexico.

I do think that 4 1/2 months is still a long time. But it may be that
they only make that particular model run a couple of times a year and
they have not started on it yet.

I don't know how they do it now, but big companies often tool up for a
certain model and make a run of them, then tool up for another model.




Yah, it's the covid delays.Â* I waited about 3 months for a Whirlpool 36" bottom-of-the-line side-by-side.Â* This thing didn't even have a through-the-door ice dispenser.
