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.
What stays: the figures it filed up to , and its rank in its class as of that date. It no longer counts in class ranks, comparisons or the selector. See what replaces it today.
If you are checking the Crosley M38A_2_M, it uses 714 kWh of electricity a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. It uses 7,286 gallons of water a year, both at DOE's test use. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 1.57, equal to its class median of 1.57.
Energy and water per year
714 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
Not published: The washer's own share, without the dryer
DOE's database files IMEF, which folds the dryer in; only ENERGY STAR splits the machine out, and it lists this model under no matching rating.
The total above, and the IMEF it comes from, stand as filed.
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.
7,287 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, 1.57, is the federal minimum for its class; 623 of the 835 top-loading, standard size washers on file file exactly that figure, so no rank is claimed among them.
What you can do. Federal minimum means this model uses as much energy as the law allows for its class. 212 washers in the same class file a higher IMEF; at the same drum size and use, a higher IMEF is less energy a year. See the most efficient washers in each class

Installed cost and service life
Not published: Installed cost range
NLR REMDB's cost model needs the washer's own yearly energy use, which only ENERGY STAR files — and it lists no matching rating for this model.
Ask retailers or installers for a written quote that names this model number. The yearly energy, water and running cost on this page do not depend on it.
Service life: DOE’s cost database assumes 11 years for top-loading washers. That is a class assumption, not this model’s rating or a warranty — no registry publishes either.

The 714 kWh figure is this site's calculation, not a registry value. It applies the registry's IMEF of 1.57 and the capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 3.8 to DOE's yearly test use. Because IMEF folds in the dryer, the total covers drying the load as well as washing it. The inputs come from the DOE Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-09. A figure for the machine alone is not available for this model. Only ENERGY STAR splits out the washer's own share, and it lists the M38A_2_M under no matching rating. For the same reason, no installed price range is shown here. The cost database behind that range needs the washer's own yearly energy, which is missing. The steps are set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.

The 7,286 gallons figure uses the same method. It applies the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, of 6.5 to the 3.8 cubic foot drum. The result holds at DOE's yearly test use, not at the load count of any given household. The page states no water cost for this model. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so the site gives no amount rather than an estimate. If you are matching a unit on site, note that the registry also lists this model as sold under XUD27ESSM***. That listing name is the one to compare against the rating plate or a sales record.
The M38A_2_M is compared with the 835 models registered as top-loading, standard size. Its IMEF of 1.57 sits exactly at the federal minimum for that class. The class median of 1.57 is the same value, and 623 of the 835 models share that minimum rating. Because this model sits inside that tie, the page claims no rank for it within the group. The running cost is not in the text. It depends on your own utility electricity tariff, so the page computes it from your ZIP instead. Other models in the same class are listed among all clothes washer pages.
