What is the average life expectancy of a microwave?

• <div><p>Most microwaves last for around eight years; lower-end units may last as few as five, while higher-end microwaves could continue to work for ten or more years.

Q: Is it worth fixing an oven?

• <div><p>In general, yes, it's worth <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-repair-or-replace-my-broken-appliance.htm">repairing an appliance over replacing it</a>. If the repair will give you more years of reliable service from the oven and the repair costs less than buying a comparable new model, then yes, get it repaired. If, on the other hand, the oven is reaching the end of its life and needs a costly repair, you're likely better off buying a new oven.</p></div>

Q: How many years do ovens last?

• <div><p>With proper cleaning and maintenance, most ovens last 15 to 20 years. When it comes to longevity, ovens are one of the more enduring appliances. That's because ovens don't have as many moving parts as other popular large appliances, like dishwashers and washing machines, so they don't wear out as quickly.</p></div>

Q: What shortens the life of an oven?

• <div><p>If you do not perform proper, regular maintenance, your oven's life span will be shortened. Make sure to thoroughly clean your oven regularly, including coils, ranges, and other parts. In addition, use the self-cleaning mode sparingly; it&rsquo;s hard on your appliance. When you do use it, carefully follow the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a microwave oven?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid metal utensils, and inspect seals for wear to ensure efficiency.</p></div>
