Stack Kit
Are you planning to stack your washer and
dryer? To do so you will need to purchase a
Stack Kit.
To order, call the dealer from whom you pur-
chased your washer or refer to the "Assis-
tance or Service" section. Ask for Part Num-
ber W10178021.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Selecting the proper location for your washer
improves performance and minimizes noise
and possible washer "walk."
The washer can be installed under a custom
counter, in a basement, laundry room, closet,
or recessed area. See "Drain System," page
2-4.
Companion appliance location requirements
should also be considered. Proper installation
is your responsibility.
You will need
• A water heater set to deliver 120
water to the washer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within
5.4 ft (1.65 m) of where the power cord is
attached to the back of the washer. See
"Electrical Requirements," page 2-5.
• 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˝(2.5 cm) 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 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 re-
versible.
• Additional clearances might be required for
wall, door, and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1
sides of the washer is recommended to re-
duce noise transfer.
• Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.
