My dad was an electrician...the business he worked for carried G.E. This was all over 40 years ago! We bought our 1st appliances through them and the washer/drier lasted 20 years. I think the drier went 1st so we just replaced the 2 of them. The 2nd set lasted another 20 years---actually the drier much longer as we still had it when we moved here 4 years ago. Sold it with the house. At that time it was going well at 25 years! Had to replace the washer though but it had gotten a good run for it's money. I agree that appliances aren't what they once were...now they give the major ones an 8 to 10 year life-span.
