Plan Vent System
Choose your exhaust installation type

Recommended exhaust installations

Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the washer/
dryer. Other installations are possible.

Optional exhaust installations

This washer/dryer can be converted to exhaust out the right
or left side. To convert the washer/dryer, use Side Exhaust Kit
Part Number 279823. If your washer/dryer was previously
exhausted from the right or left side, it can be converted to rear
exhaust by using standard offset connections. To cover the hole
in the side, one of the following plugs can be added:
692790 (white)
3977784 (biscuit)
Follow the instructions in the kit to install. Kits are available from
the dealer from whom you purchased your washer/dryer.
