Average length of ownership of currently owned refrigerators is 8.5 years and average useful lifetime of refrigerators is 14 years (NFO 1996; AHAM 2001). It appears rare for households to own a full-size refrigerator for the full duration of the productâs physical lifetime of over 20 years.ccording to a report in 2001 by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), the average length of ownership of currently owned full-size refrigerators is 8.8 years for new units and 8.2 years for used units.
