Should last for decades but they don't because the control panels give out. Only so many cycles before the buttons are toast. (Makes me wonder if the capacity buttons on my dish washer will be more reliable)

It has been the same with washers and dryers for me. It isn't the motor or bearings that give out - it is the controls. Our electric clothes dryer is 21 years old and none of the cycles work anymore. However it will still start and run so we just have to set a timer.
