Is it worth replacing?
The Fhiaba S360TST6IU 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 $103/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the Fhiaba S360TST6IU 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.
