How long do LG ranges last?

LG ranges last an average of 13 to 17 years with normal residential use and proper maintenance, which is similar to the industry average for ranges and consistent with other LG cooking products. Electric LG ranges like the LSEL6333F and LREL6325F typically last 13 to 15 years because their heating elements and control boards experience thermal stress, especially if high-heat self-clean cycles that reach 800 to 900 degrees are used monthly. Gas LG ranges like the LRG4115ST and LSGL6335F often last slightly longer at 15 to 17 years because they use gas burners and igniters that are replaceable and have fewer complex electronics in the heating system, although gas igniters usually need replacement after 5 to 8 years at a cost of 100 to 200 dollars. Factors that affect lifespan include frequency of use, with families cooking daily wearing parts faster, cleaning habits, such as avoiding aluminum foil on the oven bottom which blocks airflow and causes overheating, and not slamming the oven door which wears hinges and gaskets. Using EasyClean steam clean instead of frequent high-heat self-clean extends life significantly. Power surges can damage control boards, so a surge protector is recommended. The first major components needing replacement are usually igniters, heating elements, temperature sensors, and door gaskets after year 8 to 10. With proper care and annual inspection of gas connections for gas models, many LG ranges exceed 15 years.
