Don't know for sure but it's very long. There's not that much that goes
wrong with them that can't easily be fixed.

Everyone I've had over 4 decades has been replaced simply because the washer
has failed. We given (if not all) to family, friends or charity since they
still worked.

I got a middle of the line whirlpool from 1982 still in use. Over the
years I've replaced heating element, belt and rollers, and the temp
sensors. Unfortunately the matching washer gave up the ghost about 10 yrs
ago.

Thanks! Sounds about right. We just got a 3 yo used one (maytag).
Family was military and shipped overseas. Price was decent at the maytag
store which also sells used refurbished appliances. 150$ which includes
delivery and haul away of the old one. Has a little cosmetic damage but
nothing horrible and not rusted or anything like that.
