If you are checking the Kenmore V14CCK57(3B), this top-loading washer uses 759 kWh a year at DOE's test use. That figure assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer. Its water use is 6,723 gallons a year. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, ranking 37th highest of 870 standard-size top-loaders.


Energy and water per year

759 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.

6,723 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.

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.

No CPSC recall names this model.

Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

What these figures mean

This site computes the 759 kWh figure; the registry does not publish it. The figure combines the IMEF of 2.06 with this model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 5.3. The method is set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated. IMEF includes the dryer, so the yearly figure covers water heating, the machine and drying the load. The machine's own share is not available. DOE's database, retrieved 2026-10-25, files only IMEF. ENERGY STAR is the only source that reports the machine separately, and it lists no matching rating for this model. The installed price range is also not published. The cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, and only ENERGY STAR files that figure.

Read the rest

The 6,723 gallons figure comes from this model's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. Here the IWF is 4.3, applied to the 5.3 cubic-foot drum at the same test use as the energy figure. A household that runs more or fewer loads than the test assumes will use a different amount. The registry does not record how many loads any home runs. The cost of this water is not stated. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost for this model would be an estimate. The page does not give one.

The class has 870 registered models that are top-loading and standard size, and their median IMEF is 1.57. This model's 2.06 is above that median, and its IMEF ranks 37th highest in the class. Of the class, 652 models are rated at the federal minimum IMEF, and this model is rated above that minimum. The registry also lists this model as sold as 2813*41+, 2913*41+. The yearly running cost is not in this text. It depends on your own utility's electricity tariff, so the page works it out from your ZIP code. To compare other models in the same class, see all clothes washer pages.
