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