Location Requirements

You will need

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See

“Venting Requirements.”
A separate 30-amp circuit.
If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical

outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the washer/

dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
A sturdy floor to support the washer/dryer weight (washer/

dryer, water, and load) of 500 lbs (226.8 kg).
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire

washer/dryer. Clothes may not tumble properly and automatic

sensor cycles may not operate correctly if washer/dryer is not

level. Installing on carpet is not recommended.
A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the

hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi

(34.5-689.6 kPa).

The washer/dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where

it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Do not operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32ºF

(0ºC). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause

damage in low temperatures. See “Washer/Dryer Care” in the

Washer/Dryer User Instructions for winterizing information.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At

lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an

automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,

installation of the washer/dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes,

or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Installation Clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open

fully.

Washer/Dryer Dimensions

*Most installations require a minimum 5" (127 mm) clearance

behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting

Requirements.”

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this

washer/dryer. This washer/dryer has been tested for spacing of 0"

(0 mm) clearance on the sides. Recommended spacing should be

considered for the following reasons:

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,

and floor moldings.
Additional spacing on all sides of the washer/dryer is

recommended to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation

openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.

Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are

acceptable.

*Required spacing

**Rear clearance may be 1" (25 mm) when house exhaust system

is lined up directly with dryer exhaust.
