Hisense FV06C7ASE against the category
That's 51.8% below the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 201 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest.

See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
Danby DAG016A5BDH ($36/yr, 190 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Hisense FV06C7ASE. DOMETIC DM50C D ($35/yr, 186 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Same brand, different models
Hisense makes 90 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 3 of 90 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the HWS054N6SS at $30/yr, and its priciest, the RF303D3FSEI at $140/yr.
Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $35/year, the Hisense FV06C7ASE adds up to about $455 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The Hisense FV06C7ASE is already efficient for its category at $35/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new refrigerator costs to run.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the Hisense FV06C7ASE is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
Sourcing
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.
