What should I do if the energy consumption meter indicates a too high standby consumption?

Appliance Issue

• Energy consumption meter indicates a too high standby consumption

Applies to

• Washing machines

Resolution

In the case of the energy consumption measuring devices, there are devices which only display the apparent power and not the actually consumed active power.

• The apparent power consists of blind and real power. Only real power is decisive for energy consumption. Thus, too high a value is measured.
• When selecting the energy consumption meter, please make sure that it can also display the actual power.
