Typically, a modern washing machine will draw approximately  7-12 amps. However, anticipate a higher amperage when starting the machine as the machine will draw 1.5X the rated current to start the machine (starting current). Regardless of the amp rating, the NFPA-70 (National Electrical Code) requiresa 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker; and the circuit for the washing machine must be on its own, dedicated circuit.
One thing everyone seems to overlook when looking at washing machines is the electricity needed to pump water from the well. At 40 gallons per cycle for older washing machines and 300 loads per year, that's 12,000 gallons of water that must be pumped in a year just to do the wash. Yes, it only applies to those of us that have wells, and yes, it's probably not a lot of electricity, but it would be nice to see some accounting for this in the analyses.
