What this adds up to over time
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the Fisher & Paykel RS3084W# that long and it costs about $1,163 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Fisher & Paykel RS3084W# 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 $89/year every year.

If you're keeping it
At $89/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
