What sits beside it in the ranking
LG LDNTH862 ($41/yr, 220 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the LG LDNTH753. LG LDNTC326 ($41/yr, 220 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Same brand, different models
LG makes 38 ENERGY STAR certified dishwashers; this one ranks 12 of 38 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the LDNFC33L at $41/yr, and its priciest, the SDWD24 at $45/yr.
What this adds up to over time
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical dishwasher's service life at 9 years; run the LG LDNTH753 that long and it costs about $372 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The LG LDNTH753 is already efficient for its category at $41/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new dishwasher costs to run.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
A dishwasher like the LG LDNTH753 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.
