Neighbouring models
Right next to the COSMO COS-RFFV283RBK on that list: COSMO COS-RFFV283GHSS ($118/yr, 630 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while COSMO COS-RFFV283RSS ($118/yr, 630 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Same brand, different models
Ranked 12 of COSMO's 13 certified refrigerators, this sits between the COS-RFFV183GHBK ($96/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the COS-RFFV283RSS ($118/yr, its priciest).
What this adds up to over time
Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the COSMO COS-RFFV283RBK costs roughly $1,540 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Weighing a replacement
The COSMO COS-RFFV283RBK 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 $118/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The COSMO COS-RFFV283RBK already costs $118/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
How this was checked
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. At rank 4,193 of 4,704 for running cost, see the refrigerator category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
