What sits beside it in the ranking
Speed Queen LWN6ZR**116T*** ($11/yr, 60 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Frigidaire FWFX22D4EW. Electrolux ELTG7300*** - ($9/yr, 50 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the Frigidaire lineup
The Frigidaire FWFX22D4EW is the only washing machine from Frigidaire that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full washing machine category.
What this adds up to over time
10 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $9/year, the Frigidaire FWFX22D4EW adds up to about $94 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The Frigidaire FWFX22D4EW is already efficient for its category at $9/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new washing machine costs to run.

Protecting what you have
A washing machine like the Frigidaire FWFX22D4EW 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.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 50 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Washing Machine category page shows all 398 washing machines ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
