One of the TV home improvement show electricians recommended using a
surge protector with current model clothes washers as they have so much
electronics controlling the wash cycle.

Most of the surge protectors I looked at spec an 1875 watt capacity. I
can't find any info on my machine's current draw and wonder if one of
those surge protectors would be OK or would it get fried?

Machine is LG 1201CW.
