Shopping for a new one
The Beko BFFD3644ESS runs above its category average. If the refrigerator 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 $104/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
