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.
Weighing a replacement
The Signature Kitchen Suite SKSCF2401 runs above its category average. If the freezer you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $94/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
$94/year to run is the predictable cost of the Signature Kitchen Suite SKSCF2401; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
