Weighing a replacement
The Frigidaire LFHG2251T 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 $111/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$111/year to run is the predictable cost of the Frigidaire LFHG2251T; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
