How Long Does a Dishwasher Last?

The average life expectancy of a dishwasher is 9-11 years.

Here's the research:

National Association of Home Builders

According to a survey jointly conducted by the National Association of Home Builders and Bank of America estimating the average life of home appliances, the dishwasher has a life-expectancy of nine years.

Maytag Warranty

The NAHB survey seems to be in line with Maytag's 10-year limited parts warranty available on its higher end models.

California Energy Commission

The California Energy Commission has estimated that you can expect to own your dishwasher for 11 years. They also state another interesting fact that washing dishes in a dishwasher uses 37% less water when compared to washing dishes by hand with the water running.
