Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Forno FFFFD1785-31WHT: Forno FFFFD1785-31S ($85/yr, 453 kWh/yr), then Frigidaire FFHI1835V* ($85/yr, 453 kWh/yr).

Forno FFFFD1785-31WHT over 13 years

Weighing a replacement
The Forno FFFFD1785-31WHT 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 $85/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
At $85/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
