Is it worth replacing?
The Liebherr CS 2090G 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 $103/year every year.

Protecting what you have
At $103/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
Sourcing
