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, 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 taps 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" (25 mm) under entire

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. The door opens more than 90,°
and it is not reversible.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
■
and floor moldings.
Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer
■
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
