So when your washer and dryer aren\u2019t working, it can be a real problem.<\/p>\n<p>Look for these four signs when your washer and dryer should be replaced and get them taken care of before you have to waste any of your time or money at the coin-op laundromat.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"maintoc\">4 Clear Signs It\u2019s Time To Replace Washer and Dryer<\/h2>\n<p>The question most homeowners face isn&#8217;t whether their machines will eventually need replacing, but when. Waiting too long means one appliance failure turns into two, and an urgent replacement often costs more than a planned one.<\/p>\n<p>Spotting these issues early can save you from repeated repairs, rising costs, and unexpected disruptions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subtoc\">1. Leaks are a major red flag when it comes to washing machines.<\/h3>\n<p>Check your washer and the area around it for leaks and puddles. Sometimes, <strong>leaks are caused by a loose connection or a damaged hose<\/strong> that can often be repaired or replaced. Other times, especially with older machines, leaks are a sign of worse things to come.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen situations where homeowners replaced hoses and clamps multiple times, only to later discover internal tub damage or bearing wear. By that stage, repair costs had already crossed what a replacement would have cost earlier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What this usually means:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Internal components are wearing out<\/li>\n<li>Multiple parts may start failing together<\/li>\n<li>Repair costs will likely keep increasing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/blog\/washing-machine-leaking-from-bottom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">washer keeps leaking<\/a> despite fixes, it\u2019s often a sign you\u2019re nearing the end of its usable life.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subtoc\">2. Excessive noise is a sign that it\u2019s time to replace your washer or dryer.<\/h3>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s <strong>banging, clanking, rattling<\/strong>, or any other unusual sounds, when your washer or dryer is doing its best impression of a rocket about to launch, it\u2019s likely in urgent need of repair or replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this isn\u2019t always the case. Your washing machine may simply be off-balance. Before you start shopping for a new one, try washing smaller loads and making sure the distribution is even before you start it, especially when cleaning heavier items like towels and comforters. If this doesn\u2019t fix the issue, stop using it and call in a pro to investigate.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subtoc\">3. Clothes aren\u2019t drying.<\/h3>\n<p>Oftentimes, a dryer that isn\u2019t drying clothes may just be blocked up. Make sure all lint screens are cleared and that the vent isn\u2019t clogged (you can find the vent outside your home). You should be able to feel a strong airflow coming through the vent while the dryer\u2019s running.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure there aren\u2019t any bends or kinks in the air duct behind the dryer that could be preventing air from escaping. In some cases, issues like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/blog\/dryer-timer-not-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dryer timer not working<\/a> can also affect drying performance by interrupting cycles before clothes are fully dry. Finally, if that doesn\u2019t solve the issue, try disconnecting the dryer and checking for any blockages that way. If that still doesn\u2019t remedy the problem, your dryer may be done.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Is_your_washer_failing.webp\" alt=\"Is your washer failing\" width=\"894\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subtoc\">4. It\u2019s old enough to be in the third grade.<\/h3>\n<p>No matter how great your washer or dryer may be, all things must come to an end. The <strong>typical lifespan of a washing machine is about eight years<\/strong>, though they have been known to last longer. That said, if your washer and dryer have been around for nearly a decade, chances are you\u2019ll be looking to replace them soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>That said, once your appliances are nearing a decade old, repairs tend to become more frequent and less predictable. If replacing them immediately isn\u2019t financially practical, having coverage from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best home warranty company<\/a> can help. It can manage repair costs for older machines and keep them running longer while you plan for an upgrade.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"maintoc\">How Long Do Washers and Dryers Actually Last?<\/h3>\n<p>Most washers last around 10\u201312 years, while dryers typically last 12\u201315 years with proper care. Here is the average lifespan of its different types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Standard washing machine:<\/strong> 10\u201312 years<\/li>\n<li><strong>Front-load washer:<\/strong> 10\u201312 years (requires drum seal maintenance)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standard electric dryer:<\/strong> 12\u201314 years<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gas dryer:<\/strong> 12\u201315 years<\/li>\n<li><strong>High-efficiency (HE) models:<\/strong> Lifespan varies; complex electronics can shorten repair windows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"maintoc\">What affects Washer and Dryer Lifespan?<\/h3>\n<p>Several factors can shorten or extend the life expectancy of washer and dryer units:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Frequency of use and load size<\/li>\n<li>Regular cleaning and maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Proper ventilation and airflow<\/li>\n<li>Hard water buildup and detergent use<\/li>\n<li>Machine leveling and hose condition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A washer and dryer used daily in a large household will naturally wear out faster than machines used only a few times a week.<\/p>\n<p>In older New England homes, especially throughout Worcester where laundry appliances often run heavily during colder months, aging washers and dryers can become more prone to leaks, motor failures, and drainage issues. Many homeowners look into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/massachusetts\/worcester\/home-warranty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home warranty provider in Worcester<\/a> to help manage unexpected appliance repair costs before a complete breakdown interrupts daily routines.<\/p>\n<p>If your washer or dryer is approaching or past the 10-year mark, the signs below carry extra weight. An older machine with recurring issues is rarely worth repeated repair costs, especially when parts availability starts to shrink.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"maintoc\">Final Thoughts<\/h4>\n<p>Most washers are built to last around 10\u201312 years, and most dryers a little longer. But age is only one part of the picture. <strong>Leaks, unusual noises, drying failures<\/strong>, <strong>and escalating repair costs are all signals<\/strong> worth taking seriously, and the older your machines are, the more weight each one carries.<\/p>\n<p>When you do reach the point of replacement, a home warranty can help manage the cost of unexpected appliance failures in the meantime. Select Home Warranty covers washers and dryers under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selecthomewarranty.com\/plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home warranty plans<\/a>, which means repair and service costs go through us instead of coming out of pocket. To learn more about what&#8217;s covered, reach out to us at 800-670-8931.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"maintoc\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"subtoc\">Why is my dryer taking longer to dry clothes than before?<\/h4>\n<p>This is often caused by restricted airflow, clogged vents, or declining heating efficiency, common in older dryers nearing the end of their lifespan.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"subtoc\">Do home warranties cover washer and dryer replacement?<\/h4>\n<p>Most home warranty plans cover repairs due to normal wear and tear. Replacement may be offered if the unit cannot be repaired, depending on your plan terms.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"subtoc\">Which washing machine repairs are most expensive?<\/h4>\n<p>The drum, tub bearing, or transmission are usually the most expensive washing machine repairs because they involve both costly parts and heavy labor. In many older machines, these repairs can cost almost as much as buying a new washer.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"subtoc\">Should I repair or replace an old washing machine?<\/h4>\n<p>Repairing is cheaper for small issues like hoses, pumps, or clogged drains. But if the washer is over 8\u201310 years old or the repair cost is very high, replacing it is usually the smarter long-term choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways: Leaks signal bigger issues: Recurring leaks often indicate internal damage, and repeated repairs can quickly exceed replacement costs.
