Comparing SKS's own models
SKS makes 10 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 9 of 10 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the SKSUW2401 at $19/yr, and its priciest, the SKSSB4202 at $143/yr.
SKS SKSFD3623D over 13 years
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $131/year, the SKS SKSFD3623D adds up to about $1,708 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The SKS SKSFD3623D 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 $131/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
$131/year to run is the predictable cost of the SKS SKSFD3623D; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
The data behind this page
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. The full Refrigerator category page shows all 4,704 refrigerators ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
