To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines and airflow,
allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the

NOTE: The floor must be strong and rigid enough to
support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded,
without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex,
reinforce it to make it more rigid.
A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may
not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the
difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not
solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel
the vibration throughout your house.
