Neighbouring models
Right next to the GE GNE27JGM on that list: LG SRFB27# ($119/yr, 632 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while GE GNE27JMM ($119/yr, 633 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Same brand, different models
Ranked 109 of GE's 131 certified refrigerators, this sits between the GME04GGK ($43/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the GFE28GYN ($136/yr, its priciest).
GE GNE27JGM over 13 years
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $119/year, the GE GNE27JGM adds up to about $1,547 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
The GE GNE27JGM 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 $119/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators before buying.
If you're keeping it
At $119/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
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. Ranked 4,221 of 4,704, the GE GNE27JGM sits in the middle of the refrigerator category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math.
