Samsung WA54R76A over 10 years
Over the 10-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the Samsung WA54R76A costs roughly $310 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Shopping for a new one
The Samsung WA54R76A 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 $31/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
The Samsung WA54R76A already costs $31/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
