Good to know
The EPA figure includes the electricity to heat the wash water with an electric water heater, at 295 loads a year. With a gas water heater, your electric cost is lower. Washing in cold water saves the most.

Total cost context

Running cost is one part of what an appliance costs you. Purchase price, delivery, installation, repairs and how long it lasts are not included here, and we do not track prices. A model that is cheapest to run is not always the best value. Try the replacement calculator to see operating savings against your current appliance.

Water use

2,713 gallons a year at 295 loads, per the EPA test. Integrated water factor 4.2 gallons per cycle per cu ft (federal maximum 4.7; lower is better).

We show water in gallons only. Water and sewer rates vary too much by town for a fair national dollar figure.

The EPA record lists no additional model numbers.

An asterisk in the model number stands for color or trim codes, so those finishes share these figures.
