Same brand, different models

Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $114/year, the GE GNE25JGK**** adds up to about $1,488 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The GE GNE25JGK**** 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 $114/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$114/year to run is the predictable cost of the GE GNE25JGK****; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
How this was checked
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. 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.
