Washing machines should last at least 10 years and dryers as well.

For a washing machine I would be planning on replacing it soon after or once 10 years have passed since you could have the washing machine suddenly start leaking and cause damage to the house or laundry room.

For the dryer I would continue to use it until it no longer works which could be 10 years or 20 years depending on how much you use the dryer.

Although sometimes you can actually get a great deal on both a washer and dryer when you buy them as a set so sometimes it's best to just replace your dryer and washing machine at the same time if you can do so cheap enough.
