Lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for freezers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Shopping for a new one
Running above the category average, $111/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
Whether or not the Jenn-Air JBZF30IGX ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a freezer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
