I bought my fridge more than 30 years ago and it is still going strong, with just some repair and services once in a while.
My washing machine bought some 14 years ago gave some problem not long ago. The cold water inlet water valves didn't close any more. Then I found that I never use the hot water valve and it is literally new! So, I swap the cold water valve with the hot water valve and the washing machine is back to proper function.
One of the on/off valves of my 30 years old cooker suddenly didn't work well. Sometimes, it jammed up....
Do you go out and shop for a new one because the towkay told you that there is no spare? Next time, don't worry, the appliances usually came with "standby" which we just need to look for and use it!

My mother had a New World stove which lasted more than 30 years!!
I bought an Elba which lasted 20 years only because the lovely glass door of the oven broke into pieces...if I had a good handyman the stove could still be used with modification.
I heard now cameras may be TIME BASED!!two months after the warranty period they can konk off...sigh.
Coincident! This is also Elba and the glass door of the oven broke into pieces long ago. I don't use it. So doesn't matter. That glass is a special hardened glass.
That is way I told people not to buy pocket camera unless they wanted to change every 2 years.
