installing your washer

Flooring

For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed fl oor. Wood fl oors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain
some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Freezing water can damage the belts,the
pump, hoses and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 1 in / 25 mm
Rear – 4 in / 102 mm
If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in² (465
cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specifi c air opening.
