People around the globe depend on tumble dryers to dry their clothing items.

However, despite the fact tumble dryers are designed to be a long-lasting household appliance, at some stage they must be replaced.

Although it can be difficult to know when to replace your tumble dryer, there are several signs to watch out for.

How long do tumble dryers last?

Given tumble dryers are one of the most bought household appliances, it is common for many people to wonder 'How long do tumble dryers last'?

The average lifespan of a tumble dryer depends on many factors, including how well it is maintained, the type of tumble dryer, the environment it is located in, and the quality of the tumble dryer itself.

Many people also want to change their tumble dryer not because of it being faulty but due to wanting an updated model or for aesthetic preferences.

However, for those asking ‘How long should a tumble dryer last?’, the average life span of a tumble dryer should be between 10 and 13 years. In some cases, when a tumble dryer is looked after properly, it can last up to 15 years.

Signs you should consider replacing your tumble dryer

One of the clearest signs you should switch your tumble dryer is its performance.

If you are noticing it is not performing in the same way it did when you bought it, it is a good idea to run some checks. Should you discover issues impacting your tumble dryer’s performance, it may be time to get a replacement.

It is also worth taking into consideration how old your tumble dryer is. If you bought it more than a decade earlier, there is a high chance you will need to replace it in the near future.

Is it worth fixing a tumble dryer?

Of course, there is no need to replace your tumble dryer every time something minor goes wrong.

In cases like these, it is worth fixing your tumble dryer, especially if it doesn't cost much to do so.

If yours is new and requires repair, it is much better to pay for the work to be done than fork out for another machine. Of course, if any damage is irreparable, you may have no other choice.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide when it is time for a new tumble dryer.
