Forno FFRBI1844-36** over 13 years
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $105/year, the Forno FFRBI1844-36** adds up to about $1,369 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The Forno FFRBI1844-36** 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 $105/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
The Forno FFRBI1844-36** already costs $105/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
