What this adds up to over time
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $111/year, the LG LF19C8200* adds up to about $1,442 in electricity over that span.
Shopping for a new one
The LG LF19C8200* 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 $111/year every year.

Protecting what you have
At $111/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
The data behind this page
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.
