WP DW Power Consumption

If you are talking about how much power this DW consumes per cycle it will vary a lot based on which cycle is used and options such as Hi-Temp Wash, Air Dry etc,

 

It will also vary by the incoming water temperature, it will use more if you water is cooler for example

 

And it will also use more energy with more dishes in it as it has to heat those as well durning Hi-Temp boost periods of the cycle.

 

Best thing is to connect it to a KW meter and track its power use for a number of loads.

 

Overall you have one of the best designed and performing DWs the world has ever seen.

 

Enjoy, John
