No, fridges last 10-ish years, 15 if you're lucky, especially if you buy Samsung or LG. My LG compressor went out twice in 10 years, and the second time the tech said it would cost way more to fix than it's worth, even if the part is under warranty (I fixed other stuff myself as well).
I just got a new fridge, and looking through reviews, even the "best" fridges (unless you go industrial) last 10-15 years on average. I got Whirlpool this time, because they were near the top of recommendations (Maytag was #1), so hopefully those 10-15 years will be relatively trouble-free.
