Is it worth replacing?
The THOR KITCHEN RF3621CTD00 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 $101/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A refrigerator like the THOR KITCHEN RF3621CTD00 is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
