- WD90F53*V*
Checking the Samsung WD90F53*V*? At DOE's test use, with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, this front-loading standard-size washer uses 535 kWh of electricity a year and 4,534 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.92, ranking 33rd highest of 360 in its class.
Energy and water per year
535 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.
4,534 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 front-loading washers. That is a class assumption, not this model’s rating or a warranty — no registry publishes either.

The 535 kWh figure covers more than the washer itself. This site computed it, not the registry, from the IMEF and the capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, which is 5.3 for this model. The inputs come from DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25. The figure assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer, because IMEF folds the dryer's energy in. The page has no machine-only figure for the washer's own share. DOE's database files only IMEF, and ENERGY STAR is the one source that splits the machine out. It lists the WD90F53*V* under no matching rating. For the same reason, no installed price range is available for this model. The inputs and steps are set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.
Read the rest
The water figure of 4,534 gallons a year comes from the IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. For this model the IWF is 2.9. This site multiplied it by the 5.3 cubic foot capacity at DOE's test use. A lower IWF means less water for each cubic foot of drum. The page does not state what this water costs. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any amount would be an estimate. A reader can apply the local utility's water and sewer rate to the 4,534 gallons figure. This data has no class median IWF, so the page does not rank this model's water use.
The class here is the 360 models registered as front-loading and standard size. Their median IMEF is 2.76. This model's IMEF of 2.92 sits above that median and ranks 33rd highest of 360. It is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, and 37 models in the class sit at that minimum. A higher IMEF means more laundry washed per kilowatt-hour. The yearly running cost is not in this text, because it depends on the reader's own electricity tariff. The page computes it from the ZIP code the reader enters. Other models in this class appear in all clothes washer pages.
