13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $131/year, the LG LRFOC2606 adds up to about $1,708 in electricity over that span.
Shopping for a new one
The LG LRFOC2606 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 $131/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A refrigerator like the LG LRFOC2606 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.
