Im old enough to remember when you could expect an appliance to last 15 to 20 years. Our washer is 7 years old and its leaking. We know a guy who fixes them. He said 7 years is very good, many only last 4 to 5 years now. So I guess fixing it may be a waste. My SIL has lived in her house for 21 years and just bought her 4th set. Its disgusting.
@Phil Every appliance in my house needs replacing. We've had them "fixed" but it doesn't last. We were looking into getting someone in here for the washer, but from Angies List, it costs $400 just to come out. Sigh. We're hanging on as long as we can. It's going to cost a small fortune to replace everything.
@vandys Years ago, I tried fixing the washer myself using a screw driver, and it nearly killed me for not unplugging it first. I did get it to work, though, lol. I've used repairmen, but we're at the point of no return. With the fridge, we used them 3 times. I've fixed the dishwasher, too. At times, I was told there's nothing wrong with the appliance, but had to pay them for the trip. Our cooktop burned out the big burner, and the air flow thing stopped working, too.
