“I live in a condo and the dryer vent must be on the left side. This unit does not have knockouts to place the vent on the left. Can I have someone cut a hole on the left section where there is usually a knockout so that I can vent it on the left?”

Hi Mojo - This unit can be vented from the rear, left and right sides. The dryer is deeper in the rear than the washer. The overhang is 4" past the back panel of the washer, which means it sticks out past the vent, electrical, and plumbing connections. The dryer can sit up against a wall without adding any extra depth to the unit. This provides space for the connections in the rear. Because of this overhang, the unit does not need knockouts to vent to the left or right side. The vent elbow can be turned left, right, or down as needed. Please reference page 15 of the Installation Guide for complete details on venting from the left: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-16781-3.pdf - Thanks for your interest in GE!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My local Best Buy wanted an extra $150 above the regular installation fee to side vent this unit. They claimed installation of side vent required a special team and extra work. I refused and went with the regular back vent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I purchased 2 90deg tubes,1 connector and 2 vent hoses,I put them together going to left along the floor and wall to the outside vent and it came out perfect
