Cost over its typical lifespan

Weighing a replacement
The Whirlpool WRS586FLD 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 $122/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$122/year to run is the predictable cost of the Whirlpool WRS586FLD; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
