Cost over its typical lifespan

Is it worth replacing?
Running above the category average, $114/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the LG LF25H6200 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.
