Yes. But there can be issues. Would like to see longer telescopic vents for tight spaces. Especially when the wall vent is located 3 to 4 feet above the floor. Please remember a lot of older homes do not have a lot of space to reach around and make the connection of the vent to the wall outlet. Space is limited -- the semi-rigid vent is challenging to connect without crumpling once placed in to spaces once occupied by older appliances thus some type of blockage error is generated by the dryer. In Addition, the vent outlet on the back of the dryer should at least extend out to the furthest most point of the outer backshell. When trying to place a telescopic vent on the dryer outlet, one has to place the telescopic vent on at a 45-degree angle. This 45-degree angle can cause slippage at the bottom of the dryer connection when backing the dryer toward the wall toward. The telescopic vent should protrude out far enough to enable the vertical portion of the vent to firmly fit the outer backshell of the dryer at a 180-degree angle. In tight spaces, you can't reach down low to reattach the telescopic vent without pulling the entire dryer and pedestal out of position. The dryer and pedestal weight can be challenging for some to move. Bottom line -- some small changes can alleviate customers complaining about the flow sensor light (blockage) or why my clothes are not drying. Fix the dryer vent hose issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the listed depth of 30-1/8" does not include additional clearance need for venting. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons: • Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. • Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable. ^Daphane
