  • MVW7232H**

Checked against the DOE registry, the Maytag V19zBG60(3B) uses 759 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. At DOE's test use, it also uses 6,723 gallons of water a year. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, above the class median of 1.57.


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

The machine and its hot water alone, dryer not included: 270 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.

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.

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.

What these figures mean

The 759 kWh figure is computed by this site from registry data, not published by the registry itself. It combines the registry's IMEF of 2.06 with this model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 5.3. The calculation assumes DOE's yearly test use rather than any household's own load count. That figure covers the washer, its electrically heated water and an electric dryer. ENERGY STAR files a separate machine-only figure of 270 kWh a year, counting the washer and its heated water without the dryer. The gap between 270 kWh and 759 kWh is therefore the dryer's share under the test conditions. Each step is set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated, using registry data retrieved on 2026-10-25.

Read the rest

The water figure of 6,723 gallons a year starts from IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. For this model the IWF is 4.3, which this site multiplies by the 5.3 cubic foot capacity and DOE's yearly cycle count. A household running a different number of loads than the test assumes will use a different amount of water. The page shows no cost for this water, because no free national source publishes local water and sewer rates. Pricing the 6,723 gallons therefore needs the local utility's own water and sewer rates. Electricity cost follows the same logic: it depends on the reader's own tariff, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP.

Among the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard-size washers, this model'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. Of the 870 models, 652 are rated at the federal minimum IMEF for the class, while this one is rated above it. The rank compares registry ratings only and says nothing about use in a particular home. The same model is sold as MVW7232H**, which a seller can match against the model number on a listing. Other washers in the same registry, including the rest of this class, are listed on the all clothes washer pages.
