Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Liebherr HCB 2090G: Liebherr HC 2092G ($109/yr, 580 kWh/yr), then Liebherr HCB 2091G ($109/yr, 580 kWh/yr).

What this adds up to over time
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $109/year, the Liebherr HCB 2090G adds up to about $1,418 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
The Liebherr HCB 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 $109/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The Liebherr HCB 2090G already costs $109/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
