So, you’ve already purchased an appliance, that’s great! Now you can begin enjoying its features,
but how long will it last? Like most products, appliances also have a given amount of time for how
long they’ll be operable.
Though it varies per appliance, most of them generally have a long lifespan. So, don’t rush out to
get a new appliance just yet, you might be surprised to learn how long your appliances can last.
One of the most important appliances in any house is the refrigerator, it’s hard to imagine life
without them! It keeps your food at the ideal temperature and helps prevent food from going bad when
compared to just leaving them out. refrigerator are built to last since they go through a lot of
wear and tear, especially around a large family.
As long as they are well maintained, they tend to last about 13 years and might even last a little
longer in the right conditions. However, with any refrigerator, you can expect common issues to
occur such as a blocked ice/water dispenser or temperature issues. Luckily, manufacturer warranties
typically help cover most issues.
Washers & Dryers
Laundry might not be your favorite chore, but our washers and dryers make it a breeze with several
great features. Like the refrigerator, it’s hard to imagine doing Laundry without these appliances
in our lives. Washers and dryers have been innovated in so many ways that Laundry can actually be
fun.
Even with their complex mechanics and constant use, a washer can last 10 years, while a dryer can go
as far as 13 years. If you don’t overfill them, run them more than they should be, or constantly
avoid warning signs of damage, they’ll have a happy life. If you have a smart washer or dryer, they
usually have an app to download that also helps track issues and gives maintenance notifications to
better care for them
All kitchen appliances are used daily in any given house, especially ranges. A range can bring a
family together at any time of the day, especially with a killer dish. ranges have come a long way
from just being an appliance that cooks food.
There are so many different models and features that it may seem difficult at times to guess how
long it’ll stay operable. Thankfully, most ranges have an expectancy of 13 years. Like all
appliances on this list, if they’re treated just right, they may even last a little longer and push
towards 15 years or so.
After a long tiring day at work, followed by a large dinner, nothing feels better than a helping hand
from your dishwasher. Who wants to clean a large pile of dishes anyways?
dishwasher have come a long way from what they used to be, some being able to hold up to 16 place
settings. That can be as many as 160 dishes in total! Even with daily use, a dishwasher should be
able to last you around 9 years. However, like the rest of these appliances, it might last a little
longer if not used every day but well maintained by checking for the build-up and other debris to
help preserve its life expectancy.
Don’t Rush Your Appliance!
Sometimes, homeowners can get tired or annoyed with how their appliances look on the outside. Any
used appliance for several years is definitely going to have marks and wear and tear around it.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s in horrible conditions or inoperable. Try not to rush out an
appliance just because it “looks” bad.
Unless it’s destroyed, or visibly broken, every appliance should reach its marked life expectancy.
