I've kept alive my Fisher & Paykel dish drawers and double oven from 2004. I've even retrofitted improvements they made to the models during their production run when a part has failed and they've sold me the improved part. The oven was fun. I had to build an exact-height dolly to remove it from my cabinet to work on it:

But after that it was easy to swap parts. These aren't exactly high tech appliances. :-)
None of my other 2004 appliances have survived. The Trio fridge failed at 16 years and it was in the closed system, so not worth paying someone to fix and I don't have the necessarily refrigeration system skillset. A top-load Maytag washing machine also failed at about 16 years. The bottom seal gave up the ghost. I probably could've fixed that but I really wanted to redo my entire laundry room anyway so upgraded to a new HE model and matching electric dryer (previous dryer was gas). Those are now 4 years old and have so far been trouble free.
