If you are verifying the Kenmore V19zCE50(3B), a top-loading, standard-size washer, start with its totals. At DOE's test use, it takes 745 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, and 6,596 gallons of water. 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
745 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.
6,596 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.

This site calculates the 745 kWh figure; the registry does 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 5.2 here, at DOE's test use. Because IMEF includes drying, the total covers the washer, an electric water heater and an electric dryer together. The source is DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25. The model is also sold as 2165*20*. A figure for the machine alone is not available. Only ENERGY STAR files the washer's own share separately, and it lists no matching rating for the Kenmore V19zCE50(3B). So the page cannot say how much of the 745 kWh the washer itself uses. The full method is on the page explaining how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.

The 6,596 gallons figure is calculated the same way, from IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. This model's IWF is 4.3. It is multiplied by the 5.2 cubic-foot capacity at DOE's test use to give the yearly total. The cost of that water is not stated. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, and the page does not estimate a cost. A reader who knows the local utility's water and sewer rates can apply them to the 6,596 gallons figure directly.
DOE registers 870 top-loading, standard-size models. Among them, this model has the 37th highest IMEF. Its IMEF of 2.06 is above the class median of 1.57 and above the federal minimum for the class. By comparison, 652 of the 870 models are rated at that minimum. An installed price range is not published. The cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, which ENERGY STAR has not filed for this model. The running cost is not given here either. It depends on the reader's own electricity tariff, so the page calculates it from the reader's ZIP. Other models appear on all clothes washer pages.
