Checking the Whirlpool V14CAM513(3B)? With an electric water heater and an electric dryer, it uses 687 kWh and 6,089 gallons of water a year at DOE's test use. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, ranking 37th highest of 870 top-loading, standard-size models.
Energy and water per year
687 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.
6,089 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 computes the 687 kWh figure from DOE's certification database, retrieved 2026-10-25; the registry does not file it. It combines the registry's IMEF of 2.06 with a capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 4.8, at DOE's yearly test cycle count. Because IMEF folds the dryer in, this total covers the washer, the electric water heater and the electric dryer together. A machine-only figure is not available, because ENERGY STAR, the only source that splits the machine out, lists no matching rating for this model. Without that figure, no installed price range is shown either, since the cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy. The site's page on how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated sets out each step.
Read the rest
The yearly water figure of 6,089 gallons is based on IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. This model's IWF is 4.3, scaled to a year in the same way as the energy figure. A water cost is not stated, because no free national source publishes local water and sewer rates. To price the 6,089 gallons, you need your own utility's water and sewer tariff, which is set locally. The figure holds only at DOE's test use, so a household running more or fewer loads will use a different yearly total.
Its class is the top-loading, standard-size group, where the median IMEF is 1.57, against this model's 2.06. In that group, 652 of the 870 models are rated at the federal minimum IMEF, while this one is rated above it. Its 37th place is by IMEF alone; no class comparison by IWF is available here. The registry files these ratings for the model sold as WTW7000D*+, WTW7300D*+. No running cost appears in this text: it depends on your own electricity tariff, so the page works it out from your ZIP. Other models in the class are listed among all clothes washer pages.
