This question is very easy to ask but is very hard to answer without first having a lot more information.

How long any washing macine should last depends on:

  • the quality of the parts used to build it, which is a bit like asking

    "How much did it cost to buy and was it a low-end, mid-range or top price model?"

  • how much it has been used, which is a bit like asking

    "Do you use it daily or weekly or just monthly?"

  • how well it has been treated, which is a bit like asking

    "What weight of load of washing did have to do every time it was used, compared to the manufacturer's recommended maximum load weight?"

If anyone gives any other answer here - such as five years or ten years or whatever - it can only be just a wild quess!

Like any machine it's longevity depends on the amount it is used. I currently have a dryer that is 9 years old and has been used twice a week for most of that time. It still looks new and runs perfectly. I would estimate most dryers last 12-15 years, depending on usage.
