Mine is about 4 inches from the wall. Just enough to allow the exhaust tube to flow straight out the back and through the wall. The exhaust hole for my dryer is in the wall directly behind it at the same level as the exhaust tube exiting the dryer. Basically you just need enough room behind the dryer to allow the exhaust tubing.

The minimum clearances other than alcove or closet installation are 0" both sides;1" rear. We suggest to view the Quick Specs at the following link: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=GTD42EASJ_c3.pdf - Also, this model features Auto Dry- For clothes that come out feeling and looking great, this setting monitors air temperature to set the optimal drying time and designed to help prevent clothes from over drying. By continually sensing the temperatures of the air in the dryer drum, the thermostat controls the heat source (heater coils) and the advancement of the dryer timer. When the laundry is wet, the air is cool in the dryer. As the load begins to dry and the drum air is warm, the heat turns off. As the air cools, the control activates the heat to come on again. This off and on cycling may happen a number of times (depending on the fabric, load size, and cycle selector setting). The cycle selector advances (when the heat is off) until it automatically turns off dryer. Since there are many variables, we cannot provide actual dry times. Keep in touch!
