VENT PIPE CONNECTION
The dryer is shipped from the factory vented out the back. With the optional vent
kit (Part #
3911EZ9131X ), the dryer can be vented out either side (left side only
for gas dryers because of gas piping interference) or the bottom (through the
floor). It is important to remember the vent must exhaust to outside air. The dryer
cannot be vented into a garage, an attic, or a crawl space beneath a house or
trailer. Follow these steps to change the vent output direction.
1. Remove the screw and the
existing exhaust vent pipe.
Install vent kit part number
3911EZ9131X .
2. Remove the appropriate
knockout (left, right, or bottom.)
The knockout is easily removed
by pressing one of the tabs
inside the dryer and popping it
out of the hole.
3. Insert the short duct piece with
the tab inside the dryer through
the hole on the back. Attach it
to the blower housing and align
the tab on the duct with the one
on the base. Install the screw.
4. Preassemble the elbow and the
remaining piece of duct. Seal
the joint with duct tape as
shown. (Be sure to use real,
heatproof duct tape rather than
an imitation.)
5. Connect the elbow to the duct
in the dryer and seal that joint
with duct tape.
Connect to the outside vent.
