A:AnswerQuestion is confusing. "What type of special outlet is needed for this washer" while equipment referenced is electric dryer. Manuals for the Bosch washer and dryer are available for download online to include publications for installation. Manual recommends installation by qualified installer and outlines 4-wire and 3-wire power supply cord requirements. Note a special mounting bracket is needed to stack the washer and dryer.
A:AnswerI assume by now you have solved this issue. There are instructions in the manual for what to do which involves opening up the washer top I believe but if the installation crew don’t know how to do it an electrician will be needed. We addressed this issue when we ordered and the installation crew came prepared.
A:AnswerYou can't vent something that has no vent. The heat it generates is dry and you need to keep the cabinet/closet door open as it gets almost too hot to touch on the sides.
