FYI

How incredibly efficient washers are today. During the start of the cycle, it never went above 500ma. When a motor was brought up to speed it was 1.5 amps for a split second. It then dropped to less than 500ma while the motor was spinning. Of course, there was a time it jumped up to 2.5 amps but that was for a very short period of time. And doing absolutely nothing from what I could tell the current dropped to 60ma. Thinking this is the quiescent current combined with LEDs showing progress and other information. Now to see if it drops to 0 amps when it completes the wash.

Awesome. What make and model?

... and what do you use to track the current, a normal ampmeter or something with bells and whistles?

They use so much less water too
