Cost over its typical lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the XO XOU24BCGOA that long and it costs about $653 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Shopping for a new one
Efficient as certified refrigerators go, $50/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A refrigerator like the XO XOU24BCGOA 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.
