What this adds up to over time

Weighing a replacement
Running above the category average, $133/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators before buying.
Protecting what you have
At $133/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
