What people here ask us first.
Fit and power, before anything mechanical. The median West Covina home dates to 1968, and 76 percent of the housing stock predates 1980, so a lot of kitchens here were built around appliances that are no longer standard sizes. A replacement that is nominally the same width can still foul the cabinet face, the counter overhang or the door swing. Older circuits are the other half of it. A kitchen wired for the appliances of that era often cannot carry what a modern oven or a heat pump dryer wants, and the symptom is not a dead appliance but an intermittent one that trips under load. Parts availability matters too, since a discontinued board on a well-built older unit can be the difference between a sensible repair and a replacement. We check the opening and the circuit before quoting, because finding out afterwards is how a repair turns into a remodel. It matters more here because about 65.0 percent of homes here are detached single family.
For a conventional vented dryer the answer is yes for almost any fault, and for a heat pump dryer the answer is yes for almost any fault except one. On a vented dryer, everything that commonly fails is inexpensive: fuses, thermostats, elements, igniters, belts, rollers, pulleys, switches. Even the motor is often worth replacing on a dryer under ten years old. The only time to replace a vented dryer is a motor or drum failure on an old unit, or a board that can no longer be had.
On a heat pump dryer the routine faults, filters, sensors, the condensate pump, fans, belts and rollers, are the same easy decision. The exception is the compressor and the refrigerant circuit. That repair needs certified work and is the most expensive job on any dryer, so on a unit out of warranty the arithmetic against a new one has to be done honestly, and the age and the parts support decide it.
Either way, get the diagnosis before deciding, because the same symptom, a dryer that will not heat, can be a fuse or a compressor. Our diagnostic visit is a flat $89, credited to the repair if you go ahead, and the technician quotes the complete repair in writing before any work.
An induction cooktop lives as long as its power board, and that is the key to both its lifespan and how to extend it. The board converts household power to the high-frequency current that drives the coils, it runs hot doing so, and heat is what ages electronics. A cooktop whose cooling fan works, whose intake is clear and whose cabinet below is not packed against the vents keeps its board cool and can run fifteen years or more. A cooktop that overheats on every long cook is cooking its own board, and it may need one in five.
The other electronic component, the touch control panel, ages with exposure to heat and moisture at the glass surface, and it is a moderate repair when it goes. The coils themselves rarely fail. The glass lasts as long as nobody drops a cast iron pan on it.
So the useful answer is ten to fifteen years as a typical figure, with the range decided by heat management more than anything else. Keep the fan running, keep the vents clear, put the cooktop on the circuit it was designed for, and consider a surge protector, since a surge that takes out the board is the other common early death. When the board does fail, on a premium unit it is worth replacing; on a budget one late in life, usually not.
