LG LRMXS3006 against the category
That's 107% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 4,694 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every refrigerator ENERGY STAR currently certifies (4,704 models), not an outside benchmark, about $78/year above that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
Jenn Air JBSS48E22 ($151/yr, 804 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the LG LRMXS3006. LG LRMVS3006 ($150/yr, 799 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the LG lineup
Among LG's 132 certified refrigerators, this is the priciest to run, $111/year over the LK14S8000, the brand's cheapest.
Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $150/year, the LG LRMXS3006 adds up to about $1,953 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
The LG LRMXS3006 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 $150/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
At $150/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
