The average life of a dryer typically ranges from 10 to 13 years, depending on the brand, how often it’s used, and how well it’s maintained. Regular cleaning of the lint trap, vents, and dryer drum, along with prompt dryer repair, can help extend the lifespan of your dryer. If your dryer is nearing the end of its lifespan and starts experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to consider a replacement.
