A washing machine should last more than two years in home use. We have some laws here in Australia that makes them repair things even outside their warranty if their expected life is longer.
The guide for fridges here is in between 6 and 13 years. Under 6 you should not have any issues arguing with them (they will), over 6 it might take some more effort.
Unfortunately it is not fixed. The national consumer watchdog, the ACCC, says 'it depends' on things, such as the initial price and brand. For example, if you bought a premium fridge, at 4X the price of an ALDI weekly special buy, you would expect it to last a little longer. Maybe not 4X but more than the minimum.
