Where this ranks
That's 59.3% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 4,142 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. Every one of the 4,704 currently-certified refrigerators feeds that average, putting this model about $43/year over it. See how it's calculated on the how it is calculated page.
The closest alternatives by cost
Sorted by running cost among refrigerators, one step cheaper is Frigidaire PRSC2222A* ($116/yr, 615 kWh/yr), and one step pricier is GE GSE23GYP**** ($116/yr, 615 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models
GE makes 131 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 105 of 131 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the GME04GGK**** at $43/yr, and its priciest, the GFE28GYN**** at $136/yr.
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 GE GSE23GGP**** that long and it costs about $1,503 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The GE GSE23GGP**** 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 $116/year every year.

Protecting what you have
The GE GSE23GGP**** already costs $116/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
