Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”

Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

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 6 ft (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■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.

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.

■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 reduce noise transfer.

■Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
