Did you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The energy consumption <\/strong>based on an average washing machine is about 400 – 1500 Watts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the amperage and voltage of your washing machine determine the exact wattage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The energy consumption of your washing machine<\/strong> may be greater <\/strong>or less<\/strong>. Your washing machine\u2019s exact wattage depends on the brand<\/strong> and the size of your laundry load.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capacity of your washing machine<\/strong> determines how much energy it uses<\/strong>. The bigger your washing machine<\/strong>, the more watts it needs <\/strong>for each hour of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A washing machine uses approximately 90% of the total energy<\/strong> consumed to heat water<\/strong> and completes a wash cycle in<\/strong> 50-60 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how can you tell how much energy your washing machine is using?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article<\/strong>, we will guide you on how to calculate the exact watts<\/strong> your washing machine is using, as well as the total energy cost per year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would offer you recommendations on how to reduce the energy consumed by your washing machine,<\/strong> which would lower your energy cost<\/strong> and enable you to implement energy-saving measures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
