Average life of a dryer:

The average life span of a dryer is around 10 to 15 years. But that depends on the brand too, how much the dryer is being used and how it is maintained. A dryer eventually wears down especially under heavy use.

If your dryer has been around for a decade or more, there is a chance that it will start to break down eventually. If you need to repair your dryer, consider these two things:

Is the repair cost more than half the cost of a new one?

and how close is your dryer age to the 10 to 15 years?

if the repair cost is more than half or the age is closer or more than 10 years, it probably isn’t worth the repair. You are better off buying a new one.

Of course, there are always exceptions as some heavy-duty dryer like Speed Queen for example can last much longer and the cost of a new is much more than other brands.
