For anyone verifying this washer's listing, the Kenmore V14CCM512(3B) uses 687 kWh of electricity a year at DOE's test use, with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. It uses 6,089 gallons of water a year. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, above its class median of 1.57.


Energy and water per year

687 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.

6,089 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.

Safety record

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 calculated the 687 kWh figure; the registry did not publish it. It combines the registry's IMEF of 2.06 with the model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, which is 4.8 cubic feet, at DOE's test use. IMEF includes the dryer, so this yearly total covers drying as well as washing and water heating. The total assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer. It does not cover any other heater or dryer setup. The machine's own share is not available for this model. DOE's database files only IMEF. ENERGY STAR is the only source that splits out the machine's own share, and it lists no matching rating for this model. The source is DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25. The steps are set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.

Read the rest

This site also calculated the 6,089 gallons figure. It uses the model's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, which is 4.3. That factor is applied to the 4.8 cubic foot drum at the same DOE test use as the energy figure. The yearly total holds only at that test use. A household running more or fewer cycles would use a different amount, and this page does not know that number. The water cost is not shown. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so the page gives no estimate. The registry also lists this model under the numbers 2613*41+, 2713*41+. The water and energy figures here apply to the model number V14CCM512(3B) as filed.

Among the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size, this washer's IMEF of 2.06 ranks 37th highest. The class median IMEF is 1.57, so this model sits above the middle of its class. It is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, where 652 of the 870 models sit. The installed price range is not published for this model. The cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, which is missing for the reason given above. The running cost is not stated in this text either. It depends on your own electricity tariff, so the page calculates it from your ZIP code. Other models in the same class can be found through all clothes washer pages.
