  • DWT-40ADTMU

Checking the Smad MAS70-1106PS/01M-US, sold as DWT-40ADTMU? At DOE's test use, it uses 319 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, plus 3,260 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 1.57, exactly the federal minimum for its class.


Energy and water per year

319 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.

3,260 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 exactly at the federal minimum IMEF for its class, like many others; no rank is claimed inside that tie.

What you can do. Federal minimum means this model uses as much energy as the law allows for its class. 218 washers in the same class file a higher IMEF; at the same drum size and use, a higher IMEF is less energy a year. See the most efficient washers in each 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

The 319 kWh figure is calculated by this site; the registry does not file it. It applies the registry's IMEF of 1.57 and the capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 1.7 to DOE's yearly test use. IMEF includes the energy needed to dry the load. So this total covers the washer, an electric water heater and an electric dryer together. It holds only for that setup, and other setups are not calculated here. The washer's own share is not available. DOE's database files only IMEF. ENERGY STAR is the only source that gives the machine's figure separately, and it lists no matching rating for this model. The steps are set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated. The registry data was retrieved on 2026-10-25.

Read the rest

The 3,260 gallons a year comes from the same method, using the IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. This model files an IWF of 6.5 at a capacity of 1.7. This site calculates the yearly total at DOE's test use, so a household that runs more or fewer loads will use a different amount. The cost of that water is not shown. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so the page gives no estimate. A plumber or homeowner checking this figure can apply the 3,260 gallons to the local utility's own rate.

This model is compared with the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size washers, whose median IMEF is 1.57. This model's IMEF of 1.57 equals that median. It is also exactly the federal minimum for the class. In the class, 652 models are rated at that minimum, so no rank is claimed inside that tie. The installed price range is not available. The cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, and only ENERGY STAR files that figure, with no matching rating for this model. The running cost of the 319 kWh is not stated in this text either. It depends on your own electricity tariff, so the page calculates it from your ZIP. You can find other models on all clothes washer pages.
