A:Answer This dryer has 4 vent options, the back is how it comes, but can be redone to go out the right side, or the left side, or the bottom. I changed mine to go out the right side and I am able to move my dryer back much closer to the back wall AND use very little metal tubing (a few inches) from the dryer to the outside opening. P.S. Don’t count on the delivery guys to do this. They seem to know one way - lots of tubing and pushed a foot away from the back wall. My laundry room is narrow and I appreciate having the extra space.
