When it comes to household appliances, the more love you show them the longer they'll stick by your side! According to a study conducted by the National Association of Home Builders via CBS News, there is a life expectancy for many household appliances and electronics. Even though there's no avoiding the eventual downfall of your device, there are things you can do to help lengthen their life span! Take a look at our tips to show your appliances the love they deserve to guarantee a longer life with one another.

Though a refrigerator typically lasts 13 years according to the report, that doesn't mean you can't tack on an extra year or two with unexpected actions. But did you know opening your fridge less and refraining from over stuffing it with food could lengthen its life span? No matter what the life expectancy of your household appliances may be, believe us... a little TLC goes a long way!
