What I would save in electric cost does not make buying a new one worth it.

I'd look very carefully at those numbers.

    A kilowatt-hour is about 10 US cents where I live and a new fridge of a similar size is about $800

    A 40 years old fridge can easily average 200W more than a new one. Depends on the details of how well it's conserved and how good it was to begin with. That would be some $15 a month more.

    You always have to evaluate those things.
