Cost over its typical lifespan
Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the Marvel MPRI24-IS1A costs roughly $1,149 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Is it worth replacing?
The Marvel MPRI24-IS1A 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 $88/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
The Marvel MPRI24-IS1A already costs $88/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
