What this page does not say
Not published: How long Element washers last
No registry this site reads publishes failure rates, service life or warranty terms per model, and this site does not estimate them. The DOE CCD records what each model is certified to do; that is what this page counts.
What the registries do state about Element:
- No CPSC clothes washer recall since 2015 names Element (checked 2026-09-29).
- 1 of 8 models match an ENERGY STAR certification record.
