Installation Clearances

The location must be large enough to allow•

the washer door to be fully opened.

Additional spacing should be considered•

for ease of installation and servicing. The

door opens more than 90°, and it is not re-

versible.

Additional clearances might be required for•

wall, door, and floor moldings.

Additional spacing of 1• ˝ (2.5 cm) on all

sides of the washer is recommended to re-

duce noise transfer.

Companion appliance spacing should also•

be considered.

Washer Dimensions

Recommended installation spacing for

custom undercounter installation

The dimensions shown are for the recom-

mended spacing.

Custom undercounter installation -

Washer only

Stack Kit

Are you planning to stack your washer and

dryer? To do so you will need to purchase a

Stack Kit.

To order, call the dealer from whom you pur-

chased your washer or refer to the “Assis-

tance or Service” section. Ask for Part Num-

ber W10178021.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Selecting the proper location for your washer

improves performance and minimizes noise

and possible washer “walk.”

The washer can be installed under a custom

counter, in a basement, laundry room, closet,

or recessed area. See “Drain System,” page

2-4.

Companion appliance location requirements

should also be considered. Proper installation

is your responsibility.

You will need

A water heater set to deliver 120• °F (49°C)

water to the washer.

A grounded electrical outlet located within•

5.4 ft (1.65 m) of where the power cord is

attached to the back of the washer. See

“Electrical Requirements,” page 2-5.

Hot and cold water faucets located within•

4 ft (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill

valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi

(137.9-689.6 kPa).

A level floor with a maximum slope of•

1˝(2.5 cm) under entire washer. Installing

the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as

carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is

not recommended.

A sturdy and solid floor to support the•

washer with a total weight (water and load)

of 400 lbs (180 kg).

Do not operate your washer in temperatures

below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain

in the washer and can cause damage in low

temperatures.
