Whirlpool mede250 Installation Instruction

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the 

new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

Check and see if rubber washer is in the “Y” connector. 

Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with 

new rubber washer provided. 

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.

noTE: Side and bottom exhaust installation have a 90° turn 

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add on 

90° turn to the chart.

noTE: If flexible transition vent is used, the length must be 

subtracted from the total exhaust length in the vent system chart.

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.

 

■

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.
