Cost over its typical lifespan
10 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $28/year, the GE Profile PFQ83HSPW adds up to about $282 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
The GE Profile PFQ83HSPW runs above its category average. If the washing machine 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 $28/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$28/year to run is the predictable cost of the GE Profile PFQ83HSPW; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
