How much electricity does a washing machine use?
A cold wash on a fully automatic machine typically uses about 0.3 to 0.6 kWh. Hot 60°C programmes use about 1 to 1.5 kWh. A twin tub uses about 0.15 kWh per wash and spin. Multiply by the rate on your KPLC token receipt to get the cost per wash. Yes, drying uses more than washing. A condenser dryer typically uses about 4 to 5 kWh for a full load, while a heat pump dryer uses about half of that.
