Comparing GE's own models
GE makes 131 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 107 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
Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the GE GZE24NGY costs roughly $1,528 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Shopping for a new one
The GE GZE24NGY 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 $118/year every year.

Protecting what you have
Whether or not the GE GZE24NGY ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a refrigerator, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
