Checking the GE H24F_4_MA? At DOE's test use, this front-loading washer uses 342 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. It uses 2,974 gallons of water a year. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.07, below its class median of 2.76.
Energy and water per year
342 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: 97 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.
2,974 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.
This model is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class.

This site computes the 342 kWh figure from the registry's IMEF and capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, which is 2.4 for this model. The inputs come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-10-25, and are applied at DOE's test use. That total covers the washer, an electric water heater and an electric dryer together. ENERGY STAR files a separate machine-only figure of 97 kWh a year. It covers the machine and its electrically heated water alone, with the dryer not included. The difference between 342 kWh and 97 kWh is therefore the dryer's share at test use. The steps behind both numbers are set out in how this site calculates the yearly energy and water figures.
Read the rest
The 2,974 gallons a year is also computed by this site, not taken from the registry. It applies the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, to the 2.4 cubic-foot drum. This model's IWF is 4.2, counted at the same test use as the energy figure. The cost of that water is not stated. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost here would be an estimate. The electricity running cost is not written in this text either. It depends on the reader's own utility tariff, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP code. Both costs stay unknown until local rates are applied to 342 kWh and 2,974 gallons.
The comparison class is the 360 models registered as front-loading, standard size. This model's IMEF of 2.07 ranks 306th highest of 360, below the class median of 2.76. It is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, and 37 models in the class sit at that minimum. The registry lists this model as sold under the number GFW148S*M***. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote. Other front-loading, standard-size models can be checked from the index of all clothes washer pages.
