Location Requirements

Select proper location for your washer/dryer to improve
performance and minimize noise and possible "washer walk."
Install your washer/dryer in a basement, laundry room, closet,
or recessed area.
You will need:
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.
Ƀ
A washer/dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
See "Venting Requirements."
For 27" (69 cm) and 24" (61 cm) 240 V electric models, a
Ƀ
separate 30 A circuit. For 24" (61 cm) 120 V electric models,
a separate 20 A circuit. For gas models, a separate 120 V
15 or 20 A circuit.
For 27" (69 cm) electric models using a power supply
Ƀ
cord, for 24" (61 cm) electric models, and for gas models,
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/
Ƀ
dryer, water, and load) of 500 lbs (226.8 kg).
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
Ƀ
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.
Ƀ
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
Ƀ
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 32°F
(0ºC). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures. See "Washer/Dryer Care" in the
Washer/Dryer Use and Care Guide 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.

The spacing dimensions on the following pages are
recommended for this washer/dryer. This washer/dryer
has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance at
the sides and back. Recommended spacing should be
considered for the following reasons:
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
Ƀ
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
Ƀ
and floor moldings.
Additional spacing on all sides of the washer/dryer is
Ƀ
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
Ƀ
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
NOTE: For gas models, no other fuel-burning appliance can
be installed in the same closet as the washer/dryer.
