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, closet,
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 faucets 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 washer. Installing the
washer on soft floor surfaces, such as 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
4OO Ibs (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. See "Washer Care" for information on
winterizing.
Installation clearances

opens more than 90 °, and it is not reversible.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, doo_; and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce
noise transfen
