The refrigerator I keep out in my workshop office was in my parents basement when I was just a lad in the late 60s/early 70s. It was already 15 or more years old then. I have never had any work done on it. It is a Frigidaire.

Now everything is engineered with planned obsolescence in mind and that time is about 2 years after sale. I had a burner go out in my wifes 2 year old oven. It was only 200 dollars more to replace the entire oven. So thats what we did.
