The $26 figure above uses the simple average of all 51 published state rates. Pick your state for the real number.
Where this ranks
That's 13.8% above the washing machine category average of 123 kWh/yr, and ranks 290 of 398 certified washing machines for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. Every one of the 398 currently-certified washing machines feeds that average, putting this model about $3/year over it. See how it's calculated on the how it is calculated page.
The closest alternatives by cost
Sorted by running cost among washing machines, one step cheaper is Whirlpool WFW6620H ($26/yr, 139 kWh/yr), and one step pricier is GE GUD27GEN ($26/yr, 140 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models
GE makes 41 ENERGY STAR certified washing machines; this one ranks 10 of 41 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the GFW148SM at $18/yr, and its priciest, the GTW540AP at $33/yr.
What this adds up to over time
10 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $26/year, the GE GUD27EEN adds up to about $263 in electricity over that span.
Shopping for a new one
The GE GUD27EEN runs above its category average. If the washing machine you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $26/year every year.

Protecting what you have
The GE GUD27EEN already costs $26/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
