It depends on how often you use your washing machine and what type of machine it is. If you have a top-loading machine and you only use it once a week, it will probably last 10 to 12 years. But if you have a front-loading machine and you use it every day, it will only last 3 to 5 years. Most people should replace their washing machines between 5 and 8 years old, depending on how often they're used.

It's recommended to replace your washing machine every 10 years. However, this may vary depending on the make and model of your washing machine. Consult the manufacturer's recommendations to be sure. It's important to keep in mind that over time, your washing machine will wear down and its performance will diminish. Additionally, newer washers are more energy efficient than older models, so it's a good idea to upgrade for both environmental and financial reasons.
