I don't want to jinx myself, but our Maytag washer will be 39 years old this August and all I've done to it is replace one belt (about 30 years ago) and some little rubber hose piece (about 20 years ago) with 4 kids, two of them living here for quite a while longer than normal. In the meantime we're on our 3rd stove, and 3rd dishwasher (but 2 of those POS's were Maytags). Our Kenmore dryer is only a few years newer than the washer.
I replaced the same rubber hose piece. Caused leaking when washer filling. Known problem that needs replacing every 25 years. :-)
Lucky that is the only thing that needed repair.
Had a Norge gar dryer that was still working when we replaced it. It was 45 years old.
