Weighing a replacement
The Maytag MRFF4136R* 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 $116/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
$116/year to run is the predictable cost of the Maytag MRFF4136R*; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
