Location Requirements
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance
and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk. "
Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a
basement, laundry room, or recessed area. See "Drain System. "
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need
A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
■
A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where
■
the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See
"Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water taps located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of
■
the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
20 psi–100 psi (137.9 kPa–689.6 kPa).
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
■
washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as
carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.

Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to be

fully opened.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
■
and servicing. The door opens more than 90°, and it is not
reversible.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
■
moldings.
Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer is
■
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
