A front-loading washer of standard size (1.6 cubic feet or more). Drum: 2.3 cubic feet.
Not published: A current DOE listing
DOE's Compliance Certification Database no longer lists this basic model: it was missing from the registry on Oct 11, 2026. DOE does not publish why a listing ends.

Checking the Beko BWM242300SWW? At DOE's test use, this front-loading washer uses 295 kWh of electricity a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. It uses 2,510 gallons of water a year. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.3, below its class median of 2.76.
Energy and water per year
295 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer
Computed by this site from the registry's IMEF and drum capacity at DOE's test use of 295 cycles a year. IMEF counts the washer, heating its water electrically, and the electric dryer's work on what the spin leaves wet — so this is the total for that kind of home. How it is calculated
The machine and its hot water alone, dryer not included: 73 kWh a year, as ENERGY STAR files it.
Not published: A home with a gas water heater, a gas dryer or line drying
DOE's rating assumes electric water heating and an electric dryer and files no split between the machine, the water heating and the drying.
Such a home uses less electricity than the total above; how much less, no registry says for this model.
2,510 gallons of water a year
Computed from the registry's IWF and drum capacity at the same 295 cycles a year.
Not published: What the water costs
water and sewer rates are set by thousands of local utilities and no free national source publishes them.
The gallons above are the figure to multiply by your own water and sewer rate.
Its IMEF, 2.3, is below the class median of 2.76 and ranks 269th of the 351 front-loading, standard size washers on file, highest first.

All four product classes, from the DOE registry.
The 295 kWh figure is calculated by this site, not published by the registry. It combines the registry's IMEF of 2.3 with the model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 2.3, at DOE's test use. The inputs come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-10-09. The figure assumes a home with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, so the dryer's energy is included. ENERGY STAR files a separate figure of 73 kWh a year for this model. That figure covers the machine and its electrically heated water alone, without the dryer. The dryer's share is the part the first figure includes and the second leaves out. The steps are set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.
Read the rest
The 2,510 gallons a year is also this site's calculation, not a registry value. It uses the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, of 3.7. That is combined with the same 2.3 capacity at the same DOE test use. The page states no cost for this water. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost would be an estimate. The electricity running cost is also left out of this text. It depends on the reader's own utility tariff, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP code instead.
The Beko BWM242300SWW is compared with the 351 models registered as front-loading, standard size. Its IMEF of 2.3 ranks 269th highest of 351 in that class. That places it below the class median IMEF of 2.76. It is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, while 37 models in the class are rated at that minimum. The installed-price range is shown in its own block on this page, with its source and date. That range is modeled, not a quote. Other models in this class are listed on the index of all clothes washer pages.
