Installation Clearances

A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi (34.5-689.6 kPa).

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

Do not operate your washer in temperatures at or below

32ºF (0ºC). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer/Dryer Care” in the Washer/Dryer User Instructions for winterizing information.

Do not operate your dryer in temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.

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

NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

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

Additional spacing on all sides of the washer/dryer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
