What is the average lifespan of a GE stove including gas stoves and electric stoves is 13 to 17 years with normal residential use and proper maintenance, which is near industry average for stoves of 13 to 15 years and similar to Whirlpool stoves. Models like JGBS66REKSS gas range, JGB735SPSS gas range, and JB735SPSS electric range average 13 to 17 years because they use robust burners, 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 stove daily for cooking will wear out igniters, bake elements, and infinite switches 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 promptly cause corrosion on burner ports. Gas stoves tend to have slightly longer lifespan than electric due to simpler gas valve parts, but igniters fail after 3 to 6 years at 40 to 100 dollars. To maximize lifespan, clean spills promptly, avoid using oven cleaner on self-clean models, avoid slamming door that damages hinges, and check burner ports for clog. First parts needing replacement are usually bake element or igniter after 5 to 8 years at 30 to 100 dollars.
