A lot longer than that. My parents had an appliance store until they retired in 1990 and I have an old washer and dryer my dad fixed up for me. They are 1984 models and still working well.

Too bad you don't live close. My Dad and husband could fix it and it would do Dad good to have a project like that. He's losing his memory and can't remember what he ate for lunch but ask him how to fix an appliance and he can tell you like he's been doing it everyday. Unfortunately he can't use his fingers too well so that is where my husband comes in.
