You nailed it. I have an ampmeter dealio that I have used on the washer, and it is pretty incredibly low on the lg washer. Like a 100 watts or less during most of the cycle, up to 400 watts on on the fastest spin cycle which lasts for a short while.
Seems I almost have to lend my wattmeter out to folks that have a propane dryer, both young and old, to find out what the deal is. Of course, I suspect that the old style dryers are less efficient, but they haven’t the computer chips. Trade off? Dunno.
