The model number on your rating plate may be any of these; each is filed under this one listing.

  • MVW7232H**

To verify the Maytag V19zBG67(3B): it uses 759 kWh a year at DOE's test use, with an electric water heater and electric dryer. It uses 6,723 gallons of water a year under the same test use. 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, not taken from the registry. It combines the registry's IMEF of 2.06 with the capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, which is 5.3 for this model. That total covers the washer, its electrically heated water and the electric dryer that removes the remaining moisture. ENERGY STAR files a separate machine-only figure of 270 kWh a year for this model, which leaves the dryer out. Only the 759 kWh figure counts the dryer; the two come from different filers, so their gap is not an exact dryer measurement. The registry source is DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25. Our method for the yearly energy and water figures sets out the test-use assumptions behind both numbers.

Read the rest

This washer's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, is 4.3. Multiplied by the 5.3 cubic foot drum over DOE's yearly test cycles, it gives the site's figure of 6,723 gallons a year. That total is a test-use estimate, so a household that runs more or fewer loads will use a different amount. The page gives no cost for the 6,723 gallons, because no free national source publishes local water and sewer rates. A reader who knows their own combined water and sewer rate can apply it to that volume directly. The registry lists this model as sold under MVW7232H**, so that retail number points to the same test data.

This model is compared with the 870 models registered as top-loading washers of standard size. Its IMEF of 2.06 places it 37th highest of the 870, above the class median of 1.57. Of those models, 652 are rated at the federal minimum IMEF for the class, while this one is rated above it. A higher IMEF means more laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, so this rank describes energy efficiency and nothing else. The yearly running cost is not written here, because it depends on the reader's own electricity tariff. Instead, the page computes it from the ZIP code the reader enters. Other models can be checked the same way from all clothes washer pages.
