Cost over its typical lifespan

Is it worth replacing?
Running above the category average, $114/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
At $114/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
