Dryer Exhausting Information
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 5.7 extra-large 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.
