Installation
Flooring
For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may
need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft
tile surfaces are not a good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as the washer always retains
some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the connection
parts may cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washer.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides
Top
Rear
Front
If both the washer and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove or
closet must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72
in² (465 cm²).
