Whirlpool wed7500 User Manual

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to 
open fully.

*Most installations require a minimum 5½" (14.0 cm) clearance 

behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbows. See “Venting 
Requirements.”

The following spacing dimensions shown are recommended 
when the dryer is to be operated with, or without, the Stack Kit. 
This dryer has been tested for installation with spacing of 
0" (0 cm) clearance; however, spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) clearance is 
recommended. Recommended spacing should be considered for 
the following reasons: 

■

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 
installation and servicing.

■

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 ventilation opening are 
acceptable.

■

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

To purchase a Stack Kit, see “Assistance or Service.”
