Energy and estimated local cost by cycle

Energy comes from the California Energy Commission database for the standard cycle. Other programs are not measured. Enter a ZIP code to use the state residential electricity average, or type the cents per kWh from your utility bill.

Using the August 2026 U.S. residential average. ZIP lookup uses a state average; your bill rate is more precise.

Cost is per completed standard cycle at the entered rate. The CEC value is a test figure, not a measurement of your load, and cost excludes fixed monthly utility charges. See methodology and limitations →

When will it finish?

Uses the upper published time. Sensing and selected options can still move the finish time.

Why the number can move

Sensor cycles stop when the dryer detects the chosen dryness level. Load size, fabric, airflow and settings affect the time.

Check the exact display. The full model number and selected options matter. Consult your current manual if your panel labels differ from this table.
