Parts needed (Not supplied with dryer):
Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting.
See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements”
before purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware
available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased
your dryer. For further information, please refer to the “Assistance
or Service” section in your “Use and Care Guide.”
Optional Equipment: (Not supplied with dryer)
Refer to your “Use and Care Guide” for information about
accessories available for your dryer.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
■ A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt
minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be
at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to
the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals
with upturned ends.
■ A UL listed strain relief.
Location Requirements
You will need:
■ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See
“Venting Requirements.”
■ A separate 15 or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and
30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.
Installation clearances:
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of
installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances, and
clearances for walls, doors, and oor moldings. Space must be
large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides
of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door
is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
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.

■ If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical
outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A sturdy oor to support dryer and a total weight (dryer
and load) of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a
companion appliance should also be considered.
■ Level oor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
■ For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
above oor.
■ Steam models only: Cold water faucet located within
4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water ll valves, and water pressure
of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use your washer’s
water supply by purchasing the necessary parts noted in
“Parts needed.”.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where it
will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
45°F (7°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut off
at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer
drying times.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
