Frequently Asked Questions - Profile DISQ493DTWW GE

What type of electrical connection does the dryer require?

The dryer requires a 240 V, 30 A, 60 Hz dedicated circuit. The exact voltage, amperage, and frequency are on the rating plate. Do not use an extension cord. Must be properly grounded.

Can the dryer be vented indoors?

Exhausting outdoors is strongly recommended. Indoor exhausting using a deflector (WE25X28) and 600 mm rigid duct is only allowed when outdoor venting is impossible, but may cause moisture and lint accumulation. Bedroom, bathroom, alcove, and closet installations must be exhausted outdoors.

What type of duct can be used for venting?

Only rigid or flexible metal duct with 100 mm (4 in) diameter. Never use plastic or combustible ductwork. Use only metal elbows and hoods.

How do I change the exhaust direction to side or bottom?

Remove the desired knockout on the cabinet, detach the rear duct, cut it as shown in the manual, reconnect the cut portion to the blower housing, then route duct through the new opening. Cover the rear opening with plate kit WE1M454.

What is the maximum allowable exhaust duct length?

For rigid metal duct: 10.7 m (35 ft) with 0 elbows, 9.1 m (30 ft) with 1 elbow, 6.1 m (20 ft) with 2 elbows. For flexible metal: 7.6 m (25 ft), 4.6 m (15 ft), 3.0 m (10 ft) respectively. More than two 90° turns is not recommended.

Can the dryer be installed in a closet?

Yes, if approved (check label on dryer back). Minimum clearances: 0 mm sides, 80 mm front/rear, 1.3 m vertical. Closet doors must have ventilation: at least 400 cm² open area for dryer alone, 800 cm² if washer also present.

How do I level the dryer?

Adjust the four leveling legs by turning them until the dryer is level and rests firmly on all legs. Match the height of an adjacent washer if stacked or side-by-side.

What should I do before disposing of the old dryer?

Remove the door to the drying compartment to prevent child entrapment. Also, remove and save any literature or parts from the drum.

How often should the exhaust system be cleaned?

Inspect and clean the exhaust system at least once per year, especially at turns. Accumulated lint can create a fire hazard. Ensure access for inspection and cleaning.

What is the minimum clearance from combustible materials?

Sides: 0 mm clearance from adjacent walls or combustible surfaces. Front and rear: 80 mm. Vertical space from floor to overhead cabinets or ceilings: 1.3 m (52 in).

2 6.1m (20 ft)	3.0m (10 ft) 3.0m (10 ft)

- Do not use non-metallic flexible duct.

Hood or Wall Cap

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust airflow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Never install screen over exhaust duct.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 300 mm (12") above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 100 mm (4") dampered wall cap in regard to resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and maintenance required to prevent clogging.

Separation of Turns

For best performance, separate all turns by at least 1.2 m (4') of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampered wall cap.

Turns Other Than 90°

• One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
- Two 45° turns should be treated as one 90° .
• Each turn over 45° should be treated as one 90° .

Sealing of Joints

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the duct work with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air- and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
