Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting. 

See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements” 

before purchasing parts.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, 

installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping 

quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

You will need:

A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See  

 

“Venting Requirements.”

A separate 30 amp circuit.

 

If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet  

 

located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See 

“Electrical Requirements.”

Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also 

 

consider weight of companion appliance.

Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill 

 

valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). 

You may use the water supply for your washer using the  

“Y” connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.

20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.

 

Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire 

 

dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended  

Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. If not level, clothes  

may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may  

not operate correctly.

For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease  

of installation and servicing; spacing for companion appliances  

and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space  

must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing  

on all sides of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door  

or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings  

in door are required.
