GE Washer and Dryer Specifications

For complete information see installation instructions packed with dryer.

Important note:

GE Kit Number 14-A018 needed when converting rear exhaust to bottom or side.

(On Extra-large (5.7) capacity models only.)

Ducting materials

For best performance, this dryer should be vented with 4" diameter all rigid metal exhaust

duct. If “all rigid metal” duct cannot be used, then “flexible all metal” venting can be used, but

it will reduce the maximum recommended duct length.The following kit or parts are available

from your local service organization.

Kit WX8X75—7' aluminum duct and 4' hood, short tail.

(OR individual parts):

WX8X65 7' aluminum flex duct only

WX8X58 4' clamps (2)

WX8X67 4' exhaust hood

See installation instructions for complete information.

Exhaust length calculation:

1. Determine the number of 90° turns needed for your installation. If you exhaust to the side

or bottom of dryer, add one turn.

2. The maximum length of 4' rigid (aluminum or galvanized) duct which can be tolerated is

shown in the table. The maximum lengths for flexible ducts are less than for rigid duct.

See table in installation instructions. A turn of 45° or less may be ignored. Two 45° turns

within the duct length should be treated as a 90° elbow. A turn over 45° should be treated

as a 90° elbow.

Exhausting the dryer to the outside is strongly recommended to prevent large amounts of

moisture and lint from being blown into the room. Gas dryers or any dryer located in a closet

must be exhausted to the outside.

Caution: For personal safety do not terminate exhaust into a chimney, under any enclosed

house floor (crawl space), or into an attic, since the accumulated lint could create a fire hazard

or moisture could cause damage. Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct or plenum

with a kitchen exhaust, since the combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.

Exhaust ducts should be terminated in a dampered wall cap to prevent back drafts, bird

nesting, etc. The wall cap must also be located at least 12" above the ground or any other

obstruction with the opening pointed down. Other terminations, such as louvered wall boxes,

are acceptable provided they are equivalent to a 4" opening dampered wall cap.

See page 75 for warranty information.
