GE - 3.8 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer and 5.9 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer Laundry Center with Long Vent Drying - White

Hi - Thank you for your interest in a unitized washer/dryer unit. The 27" wide unitized washer/dryer units do not have side knockouts. For side venting you would utilize a 90 degree elbow on the vent in the rear to then direct the vent to the left or right. Our 24" wide models do offer side knockouts. Here's one for your consideration: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ge-unitized-spacemaker-2-3-cu-ft-12-cycle-washer-and-4-4-cu-ft-4-cycle-electric-dryer-combo-white-on-white/6175641.p?skuId=6175641 ---- We hope you find this helpful.

Hi Cliff- GE Unitized Spacemaker GUV27ESSMWW is not HE. However, GE Appliances recommends HE (High Efficiency) detergent be used in all of our washers (past and present models) for optimum wash performance. HE detergent works best with the lower water levels used in all modern washing machines and cleans just as well as standard detergents regardless of the machine type or age. HE detergents reduce the oversudsing problems commonly associated with regular detergents. WiFi Connect requires Optional Connect Module PBX10W00Y0 (sold separately).

Hi Willard- We are excited to hear of your interest in our GE Unitized Spacemaker® Laundry Unit! Unitized washer dryer units operate on one power cord. This appliance should be connected to an individual, properly-grounded branch circuit with 120/240V or 120/208V single-phase 60 Hz electrical service and should be protected by 30-amp time-delay fuses or circuit breakers KW Rating per voltage (240/208). The figure 120/240 simply means one side of the 240 line operates the motor and 240 operates the heaters. The nominal voltage is 240 volt, but homes may have 208V, 220V, or 240V power supply. Any appliance that is rated for 240 volts and can also be used on a 220V or 208V outlet. The power cord should be purchased separately. Thanks for considering GE. SUEatGEA

For the best drying performance, GE recommends using a rigid metal transition duct. If rigid metal cannot be used, a UL-listed flexible metal clothes dryer transition duct, part PM08X10085, may be used instead. In special installations, a UL-listed universal flexible foil-type dryer transition duct, part PM8X73 or WX8X73, may be used only when rigid metal or flexible metal transition ducting cannot be used and a 4-inch diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct. Please check with Best Buy regarding availability of the parts mentioned above. If it is not available there, they can be purchased through our parts team at 1-877-959-8688. For additional installation requirements, including the maximum allowable duct length based on the vent material and number of elbows, please refer to the Installation Guide beginning on page 12. You can access it by visiting the product page, selecting the Features tab, and navigating to the Manuals & Guides section.

The dryer uses rotary-electromechanical controls for quick and easy cycle selection.
