Generic drawing — not a specific brand or model. Not to scale.

Estimate where your appliance sits within a broad reference lifespan. This does not predict the exact year an appliance will fail; it helps put age into context when you are deciding whether to repair or replace it.

If you only know the purchase year, subtract it from the current year.

Reference Appliance Lifespans Used

  • Refrigerator: 9–13 years
  • Washing machine: 5–15 years
  • Clothes dryer: about 13 years
  • Dishwasher: about 10 years
  • Electric range: 13–15 years
  • Gas range: 15–17 years

These are broad planning references. Maintenance, usage, brand, model, installation, environment, and individual component failures can shorten or extend actual service life.

If you are deciding what to do with a broken appliance, use the repair or replace calculator and the appliance repair cost estimator.

Source note: Refrigerator, washer, dryer, and range reference ranges are estimates cited by Consumer Reports from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). Dishwasher lifespan context is based on Consumer Reports reporting that manufacturers commonly estimate about 10 years. These figures are not warranties or failure predictions.

Need Help With an Older Appliance?

Appliance age is only one part of the decision. If the appliance is failing now, submit the symptom, brand, model number if available, and ZIP code so the repair request can be reviewed.
