Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the LG LF25S6206: Frigidaire GRMN2872A ($122/yr, 649 kWh/yr), then Crosley Professional ZFEH2848A ($123/yr, 652 kWh/yr).
Within the LG lineup
Ranked 63 of LG's 132 certified refrigerators, this sits between the LK14S8000 ($39/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the LRMXS3006 ($150/yr, its priciest).
LG LF25S6206 over 13 years
Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the LG LF25S6206 costs roughly $1,586 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Shopping for a new one
The LG LF25S6206 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 $122/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
At $122/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
