LG stoves, which include both gas and electric ranges and cooktops, typically last 13 to 17 years with normal residential use and proper maintenance, which is in line with the industry average for stoves of 13 to 15 years. Electric LG stoves and ranges tend to last toward the lower to middle end of that range at 13 to 15 years because heating elements, control boards, and temperature sensors experience more thermal cycling stress, especially if high-heat self-clean is used frequently. Gas LG stoves often last slightly longer at 15 to 17 years because they have simpler heating systems using igniters and gas valves that are replaceable, though igniters typically need replacement after 5 to 8 years at a cost of 100 to 200 dollars. Lifespan depends heavily on usage frequency, cleaning habits, and installation quality. An oven used daily for large family cooking will wear faster than one used 3 to 4 times per week. Frequent self-clean cycles that heat to 800 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit stress control boards, door locks, and door gaskets, so limiting self-clean to 4 to 6 times per year and using EasyClean steam clean instead extends life. Avoiding aluminum foil on the oven bottom that blocks airflow, not slamming doors, and using a surge protector to protect electronic boards also extends life. First parts needing replacement are usually igniters, heating elements, and temperature sensors after year 8 to 10.
