How long do LG ovens last?

LG ovens last an average of 13 to 15 years for electric ranges and wall ovens, and 15 to 17 years for gas ovens, which is in line with the industry average for ovens of 13 to 17 years and slightly below premium brands like Wolf and Miele that can last 20 years. Lifespan depends heavily on usage frequency, self-clean usage, and maintenance. Electric ovens with frequent self-clean cycles that heat to 800 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit experience more stress on control boards, door locks, and heating elements, which can shorten life if self-clean is used monthly. Using EasyClean steam clean instead of high-heat self-clean extends life. Gas ovens tend to last longer because they have fewer complex electronics in the heating system and use simpler igniters and gas valves, though igniters typically need replacement after 5 to 8 years at a cost of 100 to 200 dollars. Key factors that affect longevity include power surges that damage control boards, so using a surge protector is recommended, heavy spills that damage door gaskets, and slamming doors that wear hinges. To maximize lifespan, avoid using the oven as a storage area, clean spills promptly after cooling, do not use foil on the bottom which blocks airflow, and have the door gasket inspected if you feel heat escaping. The control board and heating elements are usually the first major parts needing replacement after year 10.
