Efficient as certified dishwashers go, $41/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A dishwasher like the Asko DOD561 is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
How this was checked
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 220 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Dishwasher category page shows all 737 dishwashers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
