A electric range typically lasts 13–15 years. However, usage, maintenance and environmental factors can shorten or extend its lifespan.
Average lifespan of a electric range
Electric ranges usually last 13–15 years before heating elements or electronics fail.
What affects how long a electric range lasts
The lifespan of a electric range depends on factors such as cooking frequency, cleaning practices, voltage fluctuations and quality of components. These elements influence wear and can either extend or reduce its typical life.
Signs a electric range needs replacing
Common signs that a electric range is nearing the end of its life include uneven heating, burned out elements, control panel issues or breaker trips. Noticing these cues helps you plan for replacement.
How to make a electric range last longer
To extend the life of your electric range, follow the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations. Regular cleaning, proper usage and timely minor repairs can help it serve longer.
When replacement is necessary
If your electric range shows persistent failures, safety issues or is beyond its typical lifespan, replacing it with a new model is usually more cost‑effective than repeated repairs.
