Enameled steel is passed away long ago, as a refrigerator material.
Injection molded plastic (and yes, ABS) is the one mostly used today.
Believe me, the company that ý wok for supplies parts to home appliances

This may be one place where the US is behind the rest of the world. Most large
appliances in the US are indeed made of enameled steel at least on the outside.
That includes washers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges, and to a lesser extent,
dishwashers. It isn't until you get to the high end of the range or go to an
"imported"  brand (Bosch, an "imported" brand is actually made in NC I think)
that you see other materials used.

Oh, I should have made it clear as "inside material", but I assumed we
were talking about it, since the inside is facing with cold. Some brands
still use enameled steel for outside covers, especially for washing
machines ,dish washers and ovens, but its use in refrigerators is scarce
as an outside cover, and non existent at all as an inside cover (they
all plastic). At least the brands and types that I know of. By the way,
I still haven't seen from close yet any of those
USian-XL-double-door-things-enough-for-a-family-of-10 yet..:-)
