Neighbouring models
Right next to the Frigidaire FFHD2250T on that list: Crosley CFDNH2218AS ($124/yr, 660 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while Frigidaire FGHD2368T ($124/yr, 660 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Same brand, different models
Ranked 284 of Frigidaire's 311 certified refrigerators, this sits between the FRWE4626AS ($28/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the FRFS2813B ($137/yr, its priciest).
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 Frigidaire FFHD2250T that long and it costs about $1,613 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Shopping for a new one
The Frigidaire FFHD2250T 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 $124/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$124/year to run is the predictable cost of the Frigidaire FFHD2250T; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
How this was checked
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 660 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Refrigerator category page shows all 4,704 refrigerators ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
