Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the EuroDesign EDBM192SE: ELEMENT ERBM19CBS-CA ($88/yr, 466 kWh/yr), then EuroDesign RDBM191 ($88/yr, 466 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models
Ranked 2 of EuroDesign's 3 certified refrigerators, this sits between the EDR085S ($44/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the RDBM191 ($88/yr, its priciest).
Cost over its typical lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the EuroDesign EDBM192SE that long and it costs about $1,139 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The EuroDesign EDBM192SE 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 $88/year every year.

If you're keeping it
A refrigerator like the EuroDesign EDBM192SE 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.
