Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves

performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”

Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room,

closet, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

*Minimum measurement with leveling feet installed.

IMPORTANT:

Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to the weather.

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 5 ft (1.5 m) of

where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.

See “Electrical Requirements.”

■

Hot and cold water faucets located within 3½ ft (1.1 m) of

the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of

5–100 psi (34.5–690 kPa).

■

A level floor with a maximum slope of ¾" (1.9 cm) under

entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not

recommended.

■

A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water,

and load) of 225 lbs (102 kg).

Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or

below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and

can cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer Care”

for winterizing information.

Recessed area or closet installation

The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing

allowed, except the closet door ventilation openings. The

dimensions shown for the closet door ventilation openings

are the minimum required.

■

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

installation and servicing.

■

Additional clearances may be required for wall, door,

and floor moldings.

■

Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer

is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

■

If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings

in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered

doors with air openings in the top and bottom are

acceptable.

■

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
