For major appliances, 5-8 years should not even be middle age. Our washing machine is starting to reach its end of life, but seeing that it's just over 30 years old and well-used I won't feel cheated when it goes.

I have repaired it, though. The repair was needed after a slight overfill caused water to run down the electrical harness connecting to the motor and thus shorting out the motor connector. Yay hooray for the GFCI (aka RCD) outlet which I'd installed, which tripped just as it should. And yes, when I rewired the washer, I ensured that any future leaks won't zorch anything.
