25 years. My washer and dryer have a longer life expectancy than that.

Here in Pittsburgh we imploded Three Rivers Stadium after 30 years (and owed more money on it than we did the day that it opened).

Sorry to have to break this to you, but unless your washer/dryer is over 30 years old, it was designed for a 7 to 10 year lifespan.

Really. My family has been in the repair biz for 45 years. Little is designed for longevity anymore, because you don’t make money selling product that lasts.

I think mine are from the 1980’s. My late husband had to replace the heating element in the dryer but he died in 2006. Things are not made like they use to be.

My late parent’s house,was built in 1949, making it 68 years old. Still standing and in good shape. Cost $12,000 at the time.
