Plan Vent System

Typical exhaust installations 

Typical installations vent the dryer from rear of the washer/dryer. 
Other installations are possible.

Optional exhaust installations 

This washer/dryer can be converted to exhaust out the right or left 
side. To convert the washer/dryer, use Side Exhaust Kit 
Part Number 279823. If your washer/dryer was previously 
exhausted from the right or left side, it can be converted to rear 
exhaust by using standard offset connections. To cover the hole in 
the side, one of the following plugs can be added:
692790 (white)
3977784 (biscuit)

Follow the instructions in the kit to install. Kits are available from 
the dealer from whom you purchased your washer/dryer. 

Alternate installations for close clearances

Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for 
your installation. Three close-clearance installations are shown. 
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions provided with the vent 
system.

NOTE: The following kits for close clearance alternate installations 
are available for purchase. Please reference the “Assistance or
