A:Answer Hello, Chip. Thanks for your question. The WKHC252HWA is a ventless dryer, which means it doesn't need an outside vent. It uses condensation drying to take moisture out of clothes. In ventless dryers, moisture is collected in a tank or drained through a hose instead of going outside.
The venting kit mentioned is likely an optional kit that lets you drain the water from drying directly into a floor drain, so you don’t have to empty the tank yourself. This doesn’t change the dryer into a regular vented dryer; it just makes it easier to deal with the moisture.
As for venting it outside, ventless dryers like the WKHC252HWA are made to work without outdoor venting, so you can't change it to a vented model. The venting kit is only for draining, not for venting air outside.
If you want more info about the venting kit or other installation options, feel free to message us on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and we’ll be glad to help you.
