what does amperage indicate in the specification? null

Thank you for your inquiry. The amperage listed in the specifications for the LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle Mega-Capacity High-Efficiency Top-Loading Washer - Model # WT1701CW is probably one of the more important specifications for the washer, more so than the voltage. Amperage is a component of electricity that is a unit of electron flow or current in a conductor. Your circuit board has fuses in it that have different amperages and when you have too much current flowing through the circuit, the breaker will trip. The Amps (short for ampere) listed for the unit (reads as 5 Amps but should be 10 Amps) let you know that the socket into which you're plugging the washer into must have a breaker that at least matches that of the unit so that it doesn't trip...IFV
