What is the average lifespan of a GE electric stove is 13 to 17 years with normal residential use and proper maintenance, which is similar to industry average for electric stoves of 13 to 15 years and slightly longer than gas stoves at 12 to 15 years due to fewer gas valve parts that wear. Models like JB735SPSS, JBS60DKWW, GRS5000SNSS, and JTS5000SNSS wall oven average 13 to 17 years because they use robust heating elements, temperature sensors, and control boards designed for 4 to 7 uses per week. Life span depends heavily on usage frequency, cleaning, and maintenance. A family using electric stove daily for baking and cooking will wear out bake and broil elements faster at 11 to 13 years than household using stove 2 to 3 times per week that may last 15 to 17 years. Self-clean cycle used excessively every month causes high heat that stresses control board and door lock, use self-clean only 3 to 4 times per year. Spills not cleaned cause corrosion on burner receptacles. To maximize life span, clean spills promptly after cooling, avoid using oven cleaner on self-clean models that damages coating, use oven thermometer to check temperature accuracy, avoid slamming oven door that damages hinges and gasket, and do not use aluminum foil on bottom that blocks airflow and causes overheating. First parts needing replacement are usually bake element after 6 to 10 years at 30 to 80 dollars, broil element at 30 to 80 dollars, temperature sensor at 20 to 40 dollars.
