Read and follow the safety instructions provided with any tools 
listed here.     

Remove parts package from the dryer drum. Check that all parts

see “Venting Requirements” and “Electrical Requirements” 
before purchasing parts.

“Venting Requirements.”

A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of 
either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■

A sturdy floor to support the dryer weight (dryer and load) of

automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will 
be exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, 
installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or 
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

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 dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing 
allowed when the dryer is to be operated with, or without, the 
Stack Kit. To purchase a Stack Kit, see “Assistance or Service.”
