DRYER DIMENSIONS
Models with riser
Back view
Side view
Models without riser
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.
Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not
tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly.
Back view
Side view
■
■
For a garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (457 mm)
above floor.
Bottom view:
Steam models only: 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.
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.
NOTE: Most installations require a minimum of 5" (127 mm)
clearance behind dryer for exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting
Requirements.”
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
45° F (7° C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to
shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer
drying times.
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.

Spacing for recessed area or closet installation
All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, with tested
spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on sides and rear.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
It is your responsibility:
■
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■
■
■
■
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■
To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
- latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved
in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the
dryer 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 ventilitation openings are
acceptable.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
■
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
■
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240
volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208
volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate)
on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in
the neutral or grounding circuit.
■
■
Do not use an extension cord.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
■
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor
is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white
wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire
electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor
must be removed from the external ground connector (green
screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or
white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground
conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center or
white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated
from the neutral conductor.
Mobile home - Additional installation requirements:
■
■
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral
ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire
connection” section.
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The
installation must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile home construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSA-
Z240 MH.
A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the
appliance is installed in a location where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the
neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,
(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas
where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductors.
Mobile home installations require:
■
Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase from
your dealer. For further information, see “Assistance or
Service” section in your “Use and Care Guide.”
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
■
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into dryer. Openings (such as a nearby
window) should be at least twice as large as dryer exhaust
opening.
■
A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt
minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be
at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to
the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals
with upturned ends.
■
A UL listed strain relief.
