Parts needed

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.

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 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 that allows for proper exhaust installation. See “Venting Requirements.”

A separate 30-amp circuit.

If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within

2 ft (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The
combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

A level floor with a 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.) Clothes may not
tumble properly and models with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if
dryer is not level.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer
might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or
weather.
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.

Installation Clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.
