Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or 

recessed area.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be 

considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it will be 

exposed to the weather. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:

 

■

A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of 

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

See “Electrical Requirements.”

 

■

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire 

dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets 

or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.

Electric dryer installation clearances

 

■

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to be 

fully opened.

 

■

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation 

and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.

 

■

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor 

moldings.

 

■

Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is 

recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions

recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances  

can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer  

or in “Dimensions/Clearances.”

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation, 

servicing, and compliance with local codes and ordinances.
