How Long Does Your Appliance Last?
We have a Fisher and Paykel washing machine which we bought back in 1998. In 1999 we had a new electronic panel replaced under warranty, 12 months ago I repaired a split drain hose, the cold solenoid was faulty so I put the cold hose on the hot solenoid and we are back in business. All these jobs didn't cost us any money. On Monday we found a small leak on the floor. Ah, a split hose I thought. Nope. That's not it. Couldn't find the source anywhere. I called a repair man and he advised that it's most likely a seal in the tub and was very expensive to repair. Either that or it's the pump. Not the pump as no water on it externally. Bugger!
Anyway to cut a long story short, we've had 17 very good years out of this washing machine. We found another Fisher and Paykel machine that's only two years old for $120. Bargain!
My question is, what is the longest working time you have had from a home appliance?
