How much electricity does a dishwasher use?
It depends. All dishwashers do not use the same amount of electricity. You can get a more accurate idea by locating the manufacturers date plate or sticker, usually affixed to the door jamb of your appliance. It will show voltage and current used, It will show something like, motor 1 A heat 9 A. That means when just the motor is operating its about 1 amp and when the heating elements come on the total will be 10 amps.
