Whirlpool W10115227B-SP User Manual

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust 

hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location 

using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps 

to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other 

fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure 

vent, because they can catch lint.

The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that 

will help achieve best drying performance.

Use following “Vent System Chart” to determine type of vent 

 

■

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
noTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified  

in “Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than those 

specified will:

Shorten life of dryer.

 

■

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times  

 

■

and increased energy usage.

noTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn 

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add 

one 90º turn to the chart.

Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet  

in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure vent is 

clean. Dryer vent must fit over dryer exhaust outlet and inside 

exhaust hood. Check that vent is secured to exhaust hood 

with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible 

portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate 

beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

 

Select route that will provide straightest and most direct  

 

■

path outdoors.
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.

 

■

When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room  

 

■

as possible.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

 

■

Use as few 90° turns as possible.
