Shopping for a new one

Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the Elisii DERTM240WW1 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.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 422 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Refrigerator category page shows all 4,704 refrigerators ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
