QuestionDryer DoorSpecifications say it doesn't have reversible door.....So which way does it open?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It opens down flat and door is wider than tall so it doesn't take up much space out front when fully open , only about 15 inches! instead of around 26 inches if door were to open to the side.

QuestionIs the depth inclusive of exhaust connection? How much space is needed behind the dryer for a connection coming out of the wall behind it?
Asked 4 years ago by Papacorn.
- Answer You need an absolute minimum behind the dryer of 6 inches. The depth of this particular machine is 28 inches and that is in addition to the room needed for the dryer vent. I have a location between two doorways that limits my choices, and this is a tight, but perfect fit.

QuestionDoes the blow 40' though 4" pipe with two bends??????
Asked 8 years ago by SharpRoad.
- Answer Probably will, but not efficiently. This is too much distance for all dryers. Shorten the run! Lint will clog up this long run, then how will you clean it out. Forty feet with two 90 degree elbows will be impossible to clean. Fire hazard! Route it out the side of the house somehow.

QuestionDryer setting - is the knob for the dryer setting (times dry, accudry) supposed to continue to turn even if the dryer is not on? It has turned a complete 360 for 3x already but the dryer is not on meaning I didn’t push the “Start” button.
Asked 4 years ago by RT.
