Choosing the Proper Location
Check the following requirements for the install location
before installing the washer.
• Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the
washer for installation.
• Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust,
dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet cannot slide
easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor
can contribute to excess vibration and noise.
• If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to make it
more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe
vibration and noise.
• If a drain pan must be used, take extra care to follow
the instructions provided with the drain pan and make
sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even
contact with the pan. Use of drain pans and failure to
properly level the washer may result in increased
vibration and noise during operation.
Power Outlet
• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5
m) of either side of the washer.
• Position the washer so that the outlet and plug are
easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one
appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
washer owner to have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Flooring
• To minimize noise and vibration, install the washer on a
level, solidly constructed floor capable of supporting
the washer without flexing or bouncing.
• The washer must be installed on firm flooring to
minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete
flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided
it is built to FHA standards.
• The floor under the washer must not slope more than 1
inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to side.
• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
Floor Installation
To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain
hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1
inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the
washer. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings
that may increase the required clearances.
