Default Is there a point at which it's unsafe to keep an old washer/dryer going?

I bought a new GE electric dryer in 1970 and it's still in use today.
Only repairs in all that time were a belt and a drum bushing. I'll
keep it until it dies. By contrast, I've been replacing my washer
about every 5 years. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

I bought my washer, *used*, almost 20 years ago. In that time, I have
replaced the pump twice.

My drier is also a used purchase from 20 years ago, and I replaced the
heaterbox five years ago.

I have no plans for replacing either unit.
