Dimensions / Clearances
Clearances for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
Recommended spacing dimensions for this dryer are 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Additional clearances may be needed for ease of installation, servicing, wall/door/floor moldings, and to reduce noise transfer. For closet installations with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required; louvered doors with equivalent openings are acceptable.
Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors require both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup. An upper vent opening of at least 48 sq. in. (310 cm²) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. A lower vent opening of at least 24 sq. in. (155 cm²) must be installed no more than 1 foot above the floor. Vent grills can be installed in the door, or the door can be cut at the top and bottom to create openings.
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet
Diagrams indicate required spacing: 3 inches (7.6 cm) on sides, 1 inch (2.5 cm) on rear. For closet doors, minimum ventilation openings are 48 sq. in. (310 cm²) at the top and 24 sq. in. (155 cm²) at the bottom. The dryer depth with door open is 50 1/4 inches (127.5 cm).
Installation Spacing for Cabinet
For cabinet installation with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top of the cabinet are required. Diagrams show 7 inches (17.8 cm) on sides and top, with 1 inch (2.5 cm) clearance at the rear.
Venting the Dryer
Ensure existing ductwork is suitable and clean. Venting must conform to local building codes. Gas dryers must exhaust outdoors. Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ductwork inside the cabinet and for external venting. The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter, unobstructed, and as short as possible. Clean old ducts before installation. Rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ducting is recommended between the dryer and the wall; non-rigid transition duct must be UL-listed. Ductwork is not provided. The vent hood should have hinged dampers. The total length of flexible metal duct must not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m). Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow; do not use more than four 90° elbows.
Ductwork Guidelines
Ductwork Lengths based on Wall Cap Type and Elbows
| Wall Cap Type |
Number of 90° Elbows |
Maximum length of 4-inch diameter rigid metal duct |
| Recommended | 0 | 65 ft. (19.8 m) |
| Recommended | 1 | 55 ft. (16.8 m) |
| Recommended | 2 | 47 ft. (14.3 m) |
| Recommended | 3 | 36 ft. (11.0 m) |
| Recommended | 4 | 28 ft. (8.5 m) |
| Use only for short run installations | 0 | 55 ft. (16.8 m) |
| Use only for short run installations | 1 | 47 ft. (14.3 m) |
| Use only for short run installations | 2 | 41 ft. (12.5 m) |
| Use only for short run installations | 3 | 30 ft. (9.1 m) |
| Use only for short run installations | 4 | 22 ft. (6.7 m) |
Routing and Connecting Ductwork
To maximize drying performance and reduce lint buildup, use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ductwork. Keep the duct run as short as possible with minimal elbow joints. Ensure the male end of each duct section points away from the dryer. Use duct tape on all joints. Insulate ductwork running through unheated areas. Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not covered by the dryer warranty.
Correct Venting
Illustrations show proper venting configurations for dryers.
Electric & Gas Connection Locations
Diagrams illustrate connection points: terminal block access panel (electric models), gas connection location (gas models), power cord location (gas models), and water inlet valve (on some models). The exhaust duct outlet is also indicated.
Connecting Gas Dryers
Gas Supply Requirements: The dryer is configured for natural gas (NG) and can be converted for propane (LP) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm) water column for NG or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water column for LP. A qualified service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service.
Electrical Requirements for Gas Models Only: This dryer requires a 120-VAC, 60-Hz grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker. The dryer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for shock hazard protection and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the grounding prong.
Connecting Electric Dryers
Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only: The dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor run with circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer. The dryer has its own terminal block requiring connection to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes. For branch circuits 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less, use UL-listed No.-10 AWG copper wire. For circuits over 15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG copper wire, or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack for moving the dryer. The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block is not supplied; type and gauge must conform to local codes.
Wiring Options
- Four-Wire Power Cord: Required for mobile/manufactured homes and new construction after January 1, 1996. Requires a UL-listed strain relief. Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends.
- Four-Wire Direct Wire: Required for mobile/manufactured homes and new construction after January 1, 1996. Requires a UL-listed strain relief. Use UL-listed 4-wire #10 AWG minimum copper conductor cable. Allow at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of wire for removal and reinstallation.
