Location Requirements - Whirlpool WHD3090GW Use & Care Manual

Location Requirements

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
You will need:
A separate 30-amp circuit.
n
If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet
n
located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg).
n
Also consider weight of companion appliance.
Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
n
dryer. If forward slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), water
could run out from front of filter. If not level, clothes may
not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
n
above floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm)
to bottom of dryer.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
40°F (4°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut
off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer
drying times.
