Dishwashers, hobs, and even old 15‑year‑old stovetops weren’t left out. Our dishwasher lifespan article tells you how many years you can expect and signs it’s time for a new one. The hob repair piece walks you through common faults and safety tips, while the stove guide weighs repair versus replacement for a 15‑year‑old unit.
