Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and
possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See
"Drain System."
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
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 4 ft (1.2 m) of where the power cord is
attached to the back of the washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft (90 cm) of the hot and cold water fill
valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi (34.5-690 kPa). Washers with triple dispensers
require 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire washer. Installing the
washer on carpeting is not recommended.
A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water and load) of 315 lbs (143 kgs).
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can
remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See "Washer Care."
