Check that exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

STANDARD REAR EXHAUST

We recommend that you install your dryer before installing your washer. This will permit direct access for easier exhaust connection.

Pull out the wire spacer and swing upward to its full extension. Let the wire spacer lay flat and extended on the floor. This will prevent the dryer from being pushed too close to a wall or object, causing the ducting to come loose from the dryer.

Slide the end of the exhaust duct on the back of the dryer and secure with duct tape or a hose clamp.
