Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Samsung WF90F53D: Samsung WF53BB89A ($19/yr, 103 kWh/yr), then Samsung WH53DBH7E ($19/yr, 103 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models
Ranked 30 of Samsung's 66 certified washing machines, this sits between the WF45T60A ($17/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the WA54R76A ($31/yr, its priciest).
Samsung WF90F53D over 10 years
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical washing machine's service life at 10 years; run the Samsung WF90F53D that long and it costs about $194 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
Efficient as certified washing machines go, $19/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
The Samsung WF90F53D already costs $19/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Where this number comes from
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. 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.
